An Indian businessman based in Dubai has paid Dhs277,000 to fly back to the UAE on a chartered flight.

Dubai: An Indian businessman has 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 due to the suspension of commercial 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.
A UAE resident for more than four decades, Syamalan had flown down to his hometown for the marriage of his daughter, Anju Syam, along with his family members and some employees, on March 15. 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.

When it comes to style of living, they will go to any length to splurge, and their pockets are, well, deeper than the ocean. The question of breaking the bank does not arise.
An Indian man not long ago wore a gold shirt worth $240,000. He bagged a Guinness record for wearing the world’s most expensive shirt.
