This was however met with mixed reactions.

One user who gave a possible explanation for the development said:
I guess the printer is faulty so, they improvised by handwriting it so as not to delay passengers from boarding. Issues like this arent regular but happen once in a while.
Another Twitter user also noted that there is nothing wrong with the pass as it was probably issued to avoid delay.
He said:
Theres nothing wrong with this. Its an emergency boarding pass which acceptable under IATA rules. Would you rather they just keep you waiting due to a system error?

This one is not new now. Something that I have experienced many times, even as far back as 10 years ago. You just have to use it like that or you wont fly.
