Yes, this incident is true—a Pakistani passenger traveling from Lahore to Karachi was mistakenly boarded onto a flight to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, without even having a passport or visa.

The mix-up happened because two planes were parked at the same terminal gate, and airline staff failed to verify his documents properly, resulting in him being deported back to Pakistan after Saudi authorities discovered the error.

The passenger, Shahzain, has filed a legal notice against the airline for negligence, and Pakistan’s Civil Aviation Authority is investigating how such a serious breach of protocol occurred.
