Enjoying chwee kueh the next morning. <\/p>\n The passengers were quite emotional during take-off from Muscat, with some cheering, tearing up or gazing out of the windows in deep thought, said Ms Gan. <\/p>\n \u201cOne of our passengers told us: \u2018I\u2019m finally home after several tries\u2019,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n It was one of two SIA repatriation flights from Muscat in March to take Singaporeans and their dependants home.<\/p>\n
