NAHCON was accused of breaching its contractual agreement with the airline on the airlifting of pilgrims to Saudi Arabia, which prompted the carrier to petition the Presidency.
According to him, the contractual agreement stipulated that on execution of the contract, NAHCON was to pay 50 per cent payment to Med-View, which was supposed to be $4,448,831.08 to enable the airline to conclude all necessary arrangements for the commencement of the hajj operations. The letter with the title ‘Demand note for Payment to GACA and TAIBA,’ reads in part: “As a result of exigency with regards to preparation for 2019 hajj airlift exercise, we write to request for payment of the sum of $900,000 to GACA and TAIBAH as analysed below: GACA – $400,000 and TAIBAH – $500, 000.”
The report added: “A sum of 35 per cent of the contract sum is payable on the positioning of aircraft by our client for the commencement of the hajj operation and completion of all agreements for the outbound flights, while 10 per cent of the contract sum is meant for the inbound. The solicitor insisted that rather than allow Med-View to continue with the hajj exercise with its contractual agreement with Max Air, Mukhtar wanted to compel Med-View to put some of its pilgrims on Flynas, a Saudi Arabia’s airline, which it alleged the NAHCON boss had an interest in.
