" Motawif's failed miserably as it's come far Too Late - it's not been piloted or trialled, and it hasn't proved as flexible or competitively priced as first claimed.
" The Other problem is that Motawif is not communicating clearly and is contradicting itself - They don't seem to have the capacity to deliver and their technical System has let them down badly. "
He Said The Process was " at crisis point" as people were " turning up at airports and being told They could not travel".
A Number of people have contacted The Bbc with concerns that their bookings may not be fulfilled.
