Immediately after arrival, one of the passengers said that a "misunderstanding" on part of the airline created the two-day imbroglio and they were treated well by the Dutch authorities.

"It was a misunderstanding on the part of the airline. We were treated well and want to forget it as a bad experience," Mohammad Iqbal Batliwala, one of the passengers told reporters on arrival at the airport.

Batliwala refused to comment further saying that he was tired.

Another passenger Shakeel Chotani said that the 'misunderstanding has been sorted out'.
