A chartered flight carrying Indian passengers from Dubai was denied entry at Kingston Airport by the local authorities in Jamaica.
The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said on Thursday that the flight had prior travel and hotel bookings, but the local authorities were not satisfied with the passengers' documents.
As a result, the flight and passengers were sent back to Dubai on 7th May.
According to media reports, the chartered flight carried nearly 200 Indian passengers for tourism purposes.
It is unclear why the Jamaican authorities were not satisfied with the passengers' documents, but it is possible that they did not meet the country's visa requirements.
This incident highlights the importance of checking visa requirements before traveling to another country.
It is also important to make sure that all travel documents are in order and up to date.
The passengers on this flight may have been able to avoid this situation if they had checked the visa requirements for Jamaica in advance and made sure that their documents were in order.
Travelers should also be aware that even if they have prior travel and hotel bookings, they may still be denied entry to a country if their documents are not satisfactory.
It is always best to err on the side of caution and make sure that all travel documents are in order before traveling.
