Indian businessman splurges $55,000 to fly newly-wed daughter, husband from Kerala to UAE in private jet

In the manifestation of ultra high-end living, an Indian businessman spent around $55,000 (Dh202,290) to fly with his family, including his newly married daughter and her husband, from India to the UAE on a private jet, as the coronavirus fears led the government to suspend passenger flights from India.

The 13 passengers, including four employees of P.D. Syamalan, managing director of Sharjah-headquartered Al Ras Group, flew in from Cochin International Airport in Kochi, Kerala, to Al Maktoum International Airport in Dubai on Friday.

According to reports published in sections of the media, Syamalan, a UAE resident for more than four decades, had flown down to his hometown for the marriage of his daughter, Anju Syam, along with his family members and some employees. Anju’s wedding with Siva Prasad, a Keralite residing in France, took place on April 25, just hours after the suspension of travel came into effect for passengers from India to the UAE.

Though he did not fall in the category of businessmen with the golden residency visa, Syamalan found comfort in the fact that the UAE government had also announced travel exemption for those on flights chartered by businessmen.
