Dubai: A 51-year-old Indian expatriate is battling for life after he was found unconscious at Sharjah International Airport, 15 hours after his flight took off.
Sambandan Siva is currently in a coma at Dubai's Rashid Hospital. His condition is critical, his employers said.
Siva, who works with the UAE-based Al Huraiz Group, had taken a month's leave to go to Chennai as he was not keeping well. He was booked on an Air Arabia flight on the evening of July 2.
His employers said Siva had completed check-in and immigration and was waiting to board his flight when he fell unconscious. But it was not until the next morning that he was discovered in that state.
"I really don't know whom I should blame, the airport authority who didn't notice [him] for 15 hours or the airline which didn't bother to check for the passenger after issuing the boarding card," a company official said in a complaint to airport authorities.
