Bula FC has officially clarified the circumstances surrounding the absence of several players who failed to board their scheduled flight to Port Moresby. The club highlighted that the players missed the flight due to delays in obtaining visa approvals, dispelling earlier reports suggesting they were “offloaded” by the airline.
In their statement, Bula FC explained that the players were unable to check in for the flight since their visas were not processed in time, meaning they were never officially checked in or boarded. This clarification eliminates any misconceptions regarding their removal from the flight by airline officials.
The team also announced that the necessary visas were issued only after the departure of the initial flight. Thankfully, the affected players have been successfully rebooked on a different flight and are expected to join their teammates at their training camp in Port Moresby today.
Bula FC emphasized the significance of accurate reporting in situations like this, as misunderstandings can lead to misinformation about the events. Their proactive communication reflects the club’s commitment to transparency and maintaining a positive reputation while gearing up for their forthcoming activities.
This incident serves as a reminder of the meticulous nature required in logistical arrangements for sporting events, and Bula FC’s response showcases their dedication to ensuring their members are well-prepared and supported.
