An official source at the Fujairah Government has also denied news about a passenger plane landing on the Fujairah corniche.
The plane, the source said, was actually an 'out of service' structure of a jet, and it was placed there with knowledge of the local authorities for commercial purposes. It will be transported to Bahrain in the coming days, Wam reported on Tuesday.
