Thirty flight crew members stranded in Medina, can’t venture outside because they’re non-Muslims
If they did venture out, the could be killed. Islamic Tolerance Alert from the Kingdom of the Two Holy Places: “Crew members stranded in Muslim holy city,” from Herald Scotland, December 18 (thanks to Twostellas):
Thirty Flyglobespan crew members are stranded in the Muslim holy city of Medina in Saudi Arabia.
The airline had a contract to carry passengers between Delhi in India and Medina for the Hajj pilgrimage.
Flyglobespan captain Bob Lee revealed that the crew members have been confined to their hotel for at least four days because, as non-Muslims, they are not allowed to move around the city.
He said crew members were unable to get seats on flights out of Medina because of the huge demand.
Capt Lee said 1,000 Flyglobespan passengers from India were also trying to find alternative flights home, adding to the difficulties facing the crew.
Katrina McBride, from Fife, said: “My daughter and a number of other crew who work for Flyglobespan are currently based in Saudi and India – who’s looking after them? Who will bring them home, when and how soon?
“We are currently in limited communication with my daughter who is in a state of panic.
“She has already phoned, crying her eyes out worrying about what will happen, who will pay her hotel bill as she been working out there for almost six weeks?”
