India-origin man killed in UAE plane crash
Indian-origin doctor, Sulaymaan Al Majid, was born and raised in the UAE. He was a fellow at the County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust in the UK.
As per reports, Sulaymaan was co-piloting the the light aircraft which he had rented for a sightseeing trip. His father, mother and a younger brother were present at the aviation club to witness the experience.
His other younger brother was set to board the next flight.
Sulaymaan’s father, Majid Mukarram, recounted the devastating sequence of events and said that the crash in which his eldest son died took place shortly after takeoff near the Cove Rotana Hotel around 2 pm.
“At first, we were told the glider had lost radio contact. Later, we were informed it had made an emergency landing and that the occupants had been rushed to a hospital," a report by Khaleej Times quoted Majid as saying.
“When we reached the hospital, we were told that both were critically injured and undergoing resuscitation efforts. Sulaymaan passed away before we could see him, and his time of death was recorded as past 4:30 pm,” Majid further said.

“We were looking forward to the New Year as a family, planning to celebrate together. Instead, our lives have been shattered. It feels like time has stopped for us. Sulaymaan was the light of our lives, and we don’t know how to move forward without him,” Majid was quoted as saying by Khaleej Times.
Sulaymaan was actively involved with the British Medical Association, serving first as honorary secretary and later as co-chair of the Northern Resident Doctors Committee. During this time he championed causes such as pay restoration and the reclassification of “junior doctors” to “resident doctors.”
