A Dubai-based NRI businessman shelled out a whopping Rs5.5 million (Dh277,000) to charter a flight back to the UAE.
According to Assamese media reports, the businessman spent the amount to charter a jet for himself and his family after they got stranded back home when India-UAE passenger entry was suspended on April 24.
Mushtaque Anfar,
who owns perfume brand Oudh al Anfar, posted images on Instagram of himself and his family on the charter flight.
He posted that he was back in Dubai.
“I was not able to find a way to come back, but we managed this route. Thanks to Dubai aviation authorities for managing this and arranging a charter for us from Dubai directly,” he posted.
