A Saudi Arabian Airlines passenger returning to the Kingdom from Singapore who had his cargo of crocodile and snake eggs destroyed by clumsy baggage handlers has been compensated for his loss with SR519 and 16 halala.

Radhwan Mardad told Okaz/Saudi Gazette he had accepted the check payment from Saudi Airlines for the loss of the four snake eggs and two crocodile eggs that were accidentally destroyed at Madina International Airport a month ago.

“I will not be seeking any compensation for losses such as travel and transport expenses and finding salesmen abroad,” he said. “I went to Singapore purely for purposes of tourism and not specifically to buy the eggs.”
