The first flight from Jeddah landed today at Manas International Airport, carrying 90 citizens of Kyrgyzstan. Almost simultaneously, another 120 compatriots returned home on the Jeddah – Osh flight.
Upon arrival in Bishkek, the Kyrgyz citizens shared their experiences in Saudi Arabia.
One of the passengers, Ramis, reported: “We could not fly home, but thanks to the help of the president, the muftiyat, and the embassy, we were able to return. Initially, we planned to depart on the night of February 28, and our accommodation was provided by a company that organizes Umrah.”
“Everything was organized with the help of the company and, in my opinion, with the support of the state. A special plane was allocated for us. The Kyrgyz citizens were well taken care of, and the mood was good. We did not hear any explosions; we were in Mecca, where a calm atmosphere prevailed. Although we were planning to depart, ultimately all flights were canceled, and we had to wait for three days,” he said.
