VIDEO: Hajj flight returns twice for pilgrim who was denied boarding to take him to Saudi Arabia

The story of a Libyan pilgrim became a topic of conversation on social media after his flight from his country to Saudi Arabia with a group of pilgrims was delayed.

The plane returned to the airport twice and would not take off without him on board.

The name of Amer Gaddafi, the hero of this humanitarian story, trended on social media platforms, with a video clip circulating in which he recounted his experience upon arriving in Saudi Arabia to perform the Hajj rituals.

Amer Gaddafi was prevented from traveling at the last minute due to a security issue with his passport.

Amer Mahdi Mansour Gaddafi arrived at Sabha Airport with the last group of pilgrims that day, but encountered a security issue related to his passport.

This issue took some time, and the pilot decided to depart without him. 

Amer Gaddafi recounted that the airport security director tried to console him, confirming that he was not destined to travel for Hajj, but he insisted on not leaving and assured him that he would perform the Hajj rituals.

The plane returned twice from the airspace, and the pilot's refusal sparked controversy among pilgrims.

Everyone was surprised when the plane returned to the airport again due to a technical malfunction. At that point, the airport security director contacted the pilot and asked him to allow Amer Gaddafi to board so he could catch his flight.

The pilot refused, insisting that the malfunction was minor and would be fixed quickly.

The plane departed a second time without Amer Gaddafi, who refused to leave the airport and assured officials that he was going to perform Hajj. Minutes later, the pilot asked to return to the airport again due to a new malfunction.

Upon arriving at the airport, the pilot asked for Amer Gaddafi to board, stressing that he would not fly the plane until he was certain he was on board.

What did Amer say after his dream came true and he finally boarded the plane?

Once he arrived in Saudi Arabia, Amer Gaddafi recorded his touching story in a video that millions of people watched and shared, due to the strangeness of the story that fascinated many.

Amer Gaddafi expressed his happiness at being able to perform the Hajj rituals with the group accompanying him, stressing that he was confident at all times that he would board the plane despite its departures twice.
