The Kuwaiti brothers were travelling home for the funeral of a family member when the incident happened, explained Brigadier Hamouda Belsuwaida Al Ameri, Director of the General Department of Airport Security. 

The duo were deeply distressed and realised they had left behind their valuables at DXB's Terminal 1 only after their boarded the flight. 

Since they were unable to leave the aircraft, they contacted their sister who had dropped them off at the airport.
