Saudi Arabia-Bound Migrants Create Chaos for Air Tickets

Saudi Arabia-bound migrants created chaos to get tickets in front of the Saudi Arabian Airlines office on Pan Pacific Sonargaon Dhaka premises in the capital on Sunday morning.

They gathered at the airline office to confirm their return tickets for the flights cancelled amid the ongoing strict lockdown imposed to contain Convid-19 spread in the country, reports media.  

Omar Khayyam, manager (sales) at Saudi Arabian Airlines Dhaka office, said, "We are providing return tickets from Saturday. Migrants gathered here for tickets."

Regarding the chaos, he said, "Although we are trying to maintain discipline, the migrants are desperate to get tickets without maintaining the queue."

He said they had provided tokens last year as there were migrants stranded for six months. Now flights were cancelled for five days due to the lockdown.

"Saudia will operate one flight today and two flights tomorrow," the official mentioned.

Saudi Arabia-bound flights in the last four days were cancelled amid the lockdown. Although it was scheduled to resume flights for migrants on Saturday, Saudi Arabian Airlines eventually cancelled the plan.  

Following the demonstration of migrants, the Saudi Arabian Airlines authorities said they would operate special fights on Sunday and started providing tickets for the flights cancelled from 14 to 17 April.
