PIA air hostess slips away in Canada leaving ‘Thank you’ note behind

Another air hostess of Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) allegedly went missing while on duty in Canada.

The incident came to light when Maryam Raza, assigned to flight PK 782 from Pakistan to Toronto, failed to report for duty on the return flight, PK 784 from Toronto to Karachi.

Upon investigation, a note expressing gratitude to PIA was discovered alongside her uniform hanging in her room. “Thank you, PIA”, she wrote, reports Samaa News.

This marks the third reported case this year of PIA flight attendants allegedly ‘slipping’ while on duty, with two of them being women.

Despite measures such as collecting passports of flight attendants assigned to Toronto flights to prevent such incidents, the effectiveness of these policies has come under scrutiny.

Experts cite low pay and a lack of job security within the national airline as the primary reasons behind these alleged instances of slippage but above all it maligns the image of the country on an international level.
