A Pakistani travel vlogger, Ali Khan, shared his experience on a flight to Skardu with Pakistan International Airlines (PIA), which he described as ‘one of the most dangerous flights in the world.’ He documented the flight despite being told to stop by the crew, highlighting issues like unclean seats, broken handles, and duct tape on the overhead bin. Khan’s video sheds light on the safety concerns surrounding PIA, which was banned by the European Union in 2020.
In a shocking incident, Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) neglected to load the body of a deceased six-year-old child onto a flight from Islamabad to Skardu. The grieving parents, unaware of the mistake, continued their journey to Skardu, where they were devastated to learn that their son’s remains had been left behind. The boy had been diagnosed with a brain tumor and was being transported to a hospital in Rawalpindi for treatment when he passed away. The family booked a PIA flight to transport his body for burial, following all necessary procedures and making the required payments. However, despite the flight being delayed for four hours, the body was mistakenly not loaded onto the aircraft and was left behind at the Islamabad airport. The incident has prompted an investigation and assurances from PIA officials that action will be taken against the company responsible for handling cargo at the airport.
Pakistan International Airlines (PIA), in a bid to boost tourism, has announced additional flights to the northern areas of the country. These new flights are aimed at attracting tourists to the region known for its natural beauty and cultural heritage.
