Karachi: A passenger has sent a legal notice to a private airline after being mistakenly flown from Lahore to Jeddah instead of Karachi, ARY News reported.
Shahzain, the affected passenger, claims that despite showing his ticket to the air hostess, he was not informed that he had boarded the wrong flight.
According to Shahzain, two planes were parked at the domestic terminal gate, and he was not aware of the mistake until it was too late. The passenger alleges that the airline's negligence caused him distress in Saudi Arabia, as per ARY News.
In the legal notice, Shahzain demands that the airline cover the additional travel expenses he incurred and respond to the matter. He is seeking compensation for the inconvenience and trouble caused by the airline's alleged mistake.
