Amir Hamzah, 29, a factory worker, and his wife, Fatin Zulaikha Azizal, 29, a private company employee, had planned to return to Malaysia on Sunday, but their connecting flight to Kuala Lumpur was repeatedly delayed and eventually cancelled. The disruption resulted in the airport temporarily closing and affecting about 150,000 passengers and 467 flights. The couple spent nearly 24 hours at the airport before being informed that their earliest available flight back to Malaysia was on Friday, five days after their scheduled return.
