In detail, the Operations Rooms received a notification around 10:45 pm on Tuesday, reporting two missing individuals in the Mezairaa sandy area in the Western Region. The search and rescue aircraft immediately took off, led by Lt. Colonel Pilot Saeed Salem Al Marar, Head of the Air Operations Section, who is highly experienced in dealing with such circumstances. Lt. Colonel Al Marar established the correct coordinates, and managed to locate the missing couple stranded in the sand in just 15 minutes.
