München – The two Austrians (42 and 47) and a 44-year-old German wanted to fly from Munich to Harare via Doha at the weekend. The 47-year-old, his wife and their companion planned to go water buffalo hunting in Zimbabwe. They also had three double-barreled rifles belonging to the 47-year-old in their luggage.
Although the hunter was able to misplace a European firearms pass during the check in Terminal I, in which the rifles were registered and the weapons were also safely stowed in transport boxes, the trio were still not allowed to check in for the flight to Zimbabwe.
