I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused to the passengers. I appreciate our cabin crew's professionalism and sincerity in guiding the passengers to safety."

He also stated that flybig is committed to the cause of differently abled children, and that diverting a plane that was supposed to take them on a joyride was a difficult decision for them, and that they would soon arrange a flight that would take these children on a joyride.
