Thuraya, a significant satellite operator, offers advanced communication technologies across various terrains. Kaufmann, usually seen in formal attire, attended the event in a black jacket and grey trousers.
Kaufmann acknowledged the loss and mentioned being assured by the airport authorities that his belongings would be located and returned promptly.
During the event, attendees approached Kaufmann to offer support, and the host playfully teased him about borrowing dresses if his luggage remained missing.
