“The Terminal” Came to Life!

May 13, 2020

Well, yes, the terminal movie just came to life as a middle age man was stranded at an airport for 54 days. Edgar Ziebat a 48 year wanted German criminal on the run was living in the transit area of Indira Gandhi International Airport since March 18th.

He had a layover in Delhi from Vietnam on a flight that was going to Istanbul. But as due to the pandemic, India canceled all flights that were arriving or departing from Turkey the very same day.

Later, in the same week, all the international flights were also suspended.

Because of the ban on all international flights, Ziebat was stranded at the Delhi Airport. Due to his criminal records, India denied him a visa and the German Embassy refused to take his custody.

An airport officer said: The German embassy informed the Indian bureau of immigration that Ziebat has several cases of assault and other crimes registered against him and that they won’t take his custody given that he is in a foreign land.

The airport authorities also tried to accommodate Zeibat on a relief flight to Ankara, Turkey. But, the Turkish authorities turned down the proposal mentioning that it was only for Turkish nationals.

Now, finally, after 50 days, Ziebat has found a way out and boarded a KLM flight to Amsterdam.

We wonder, how this man spent so many days at the airport.
