Pilot lauds Dubai airport for finding her month-old lost watch

Hana Mohsin Khan wrote on X (formerly Twitter), “Last month while operating a Dubai back flight, I had gone to the duty-free. During the security check, I had taken my watch off and forgot to pick it up. I had thought it was forever lost when I was flying back and discovered that I no longer had it. I contacted my ground staff in Dubai, and long story short, after me writing them three emails, the Dubai lost and found, found it! I was on another flight to Dubai yesterday, and I went to their office in Dubai duty-free. Took me 5 minutes and I had my watch.” (Also Read: Pilot carries 9-year-old’s lost doll from Tokyo to USA)

She further added, “Super impressed with the lost & found department there. I’m in awe that I got my watch back with such little hassle! That’s how life is there. It was a good reminder! Growing up in the Middle East, it took us a long time to remember to lock our car doors, and house doors. Law and order is just brilliant!”
