Youssef Al-Hamdan filed the lawsuit through the law firm of Khalid Al-Nowaiser.
The lawsuit alleges that Al-Hamdan won the tender for the purchase of a Boeing 747 aircraft and he checked it thoroughly before completing his purchase. After finalizing payment, Al-Hamdan discovered that most of the aircraft’s main technical devices were missing.
Al-Hamdan tried to contact the airline on several occasions but he has not received a response. He then turned the matter over to the Al-Nowaiser law firm to try and reach an amicable solution to the problem. However, the law firm did not receive any positive feedback from the airline, so legal action was taken.
Al-Hamdan told Arab News that the lawsuit was filed a while ago and everything was in the hands of his lawyers.
Al-Hamdan wants Saudia to restore the aircraft to the condition it was in before he made his purchase, or pay him SR100 million as compensation for the technical devices, which he alleges were removed from the aircraft after his purchase.
“I’m seeking compensation for the missing technical devices and we are following up on the proceedings of the case,” Al-Hamdan added.
When contacted by Arab News, attorney Khalid Al-Nowaiser declined to comment for legal reasons.
