Talking to Khaleej Times, some Pakistanis complained about the lack of awareness about ticket purchase for special flights and said priority should be given to emergency cases.
Aishah Anis Khanani, who is pregnant and stuck in Dubai for a month, is willing to pay any price for the seat in Karachi-bound flight this week.
Muhammad Zeeshan from Malakand in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province is also looking for a seat in Islamabad or Peshawar-bound special flight to see his ailing father.
In addition to emergency cases, people who lost jobs due to coronavirus outbreak, are also looking for seats in special flights to Pakistan.
Nauman Minhas, a resident of Dubai, lost his job and is keen to join his family in Pakistan. "I lost my job and I want to go to my country Pakistan," Minhas said.
Rehan Khan also lost job in the UAE and wants to go back as soon as possible. "It is very difficult to survive here without a job. I want to buy a ticket in Islamabad-bound special flight," Khan said.
Muhammad Uzair, a resident of Karachi, arrived in the UAE to explore job market in February and stuck following ban imposed by Pakistan on scheduled flights in March. He booked his luggage on Emirates a day before the ban was imposed on March 21 and since then he stuck in very odd situation.
