Dubai: Confusion reigns among travel agents and passengers of RAK Airways after the low-cost airline announced the suspension of all operations from January 1.
Mohammad Aslam, who flew into the UAE from Calicut, Kerala, last month and had a return ticket with the airline on January 4, said he and his family have been left stranded.
“We had bought three return tickets for Rs42,000 (about Dh2,500) through a travel agent in India. I got a mail from them the other day informing me of potential changes to the schedule. Now I have no idea what lies ahead,” said the 30-year-old technical writer based in Bengaluru, India.
“My only worry is whether I will be able make it to Calicut on time because I have onward bookings,” he said.
An agent at a reputed travel agency said she had no clue about the latest developments.
“We don’t handle that many tickets for RAK Airways, but when we issue a ticket, and if it’s cancelled for some reason, we are always notified in advance. I had no idea that they had suspended their flights,” she said.
