How I Missed My Flight From UAE Because Of Covid-19 Tests Extortion by okoriejeremiah(m): 9:19pm On Nov 11, 2021 |
First Time To Miss A Flight ✈️ My Personal Experience ��...... At Abu Dhabi Airport, UAE, #qatarairways claimed federal government of Nigeria ~ #nigeriagovernment forced them to ensure passengers traveling to Nigeria from UAE pay #39,000 (thirty-nine thousand naira) for post-arrival Covid-19 tests. Being fully vaccinated in Abu Dhabi, with a valid Covid-19 vaccination certificate, and a negative PCR test results, I questioned the legality of such payment ~ which, to me, is an extortion. As an activist, I needed to let them know what they were doing was a "sharp practice". The Qatar airways officials admitted such payment was not in line with their airline policies ~ but they had to play the scripts to sustain their business in Nigeria -- "blame your government, not us", the director said. I spoke all the "good English" in my vocabulary. While the altercations lasted, I was unable to check-in. Knowing that I was right in my claims, they arranged for me to board next available flight ~ not without paying additional charges, though. Worst still, I had to pay the 39k in contention. While in Doha, Qatar, I filed a petition to Qatar airways. As I arrived Nigeria, I wrote another petition to FGN through Federal Ministry of Health. I am happy to be informed such payment has stopped. � on a lighter note, they served me chilled Cans of #budweiser_beer on board to calm my nerves. � Fighting corruption and effecting a positive change come with SACRIFICES. We must keep talking until things are done right. 1 Like 1 Share |
