This also happened to Anne of Cleves when she was sent to England to wed Henry VIII. Except, I don't think an airport was involved.

Actually, the groom later said it wasn’t just Helen Thomas’ looks that made him run away, she’s also way too antisemitic for him.

Yes, but he was polite to her, waited a decent interval to divorce her, and gave her a pension.
According to a contemporaneous memoir, when Anne wasn’t pregnant after several months, her doctor asked, “Does the king make love to you?” and Anne replied, “Oh, yes! At night before he goes to his room, he kisses my cheek and says, ‘Sleep well, dear,’ and in the morning, he kisses my hand and asks, ‘Did you have a good night, sweetheart?’ “

He should have done what Bill and Barak did when faced with this situation: Take lots of hard drugs.

“An Egyptian groom ran away from his bride just after she arrived at a Saudi airport after he was shocked at how she looked.”
Slow news day?
“the paper said without naming the airport”. Why.
A squid would call this scuttlebutt.
Is this made up?
This story sounds made up.

The difference is Henry married Anne.
The story is very odd. He sent Holbein to paint her on instructions to be strictly accurate. The portrait still exists and shows an average girl, certainly not ugly.
Henry did not meet her until after the marriage contract and was immediately disappointed. He did, however go through with the marriage. He never consummated it and could not get past his initial disappointment. Henry later asked for an annulment.
More clever than beautiful, Anne readily consented. In gratitude he conferred estates on her, some of which were former Boleyn family estates. She was often at Court, where Henry treated her as his honored sister.
In those tumultuous times, she lived a comfortable and peaceful life.

This also happened to Anne of Cleves when she was sent to England to wed Henry VIII. Except, I don't think an airport was involved.Henry VIII should have went after Ann of Cleevage instead.
