LAHORE: In a video that has gone viral in Pakistan right now, cockroaches can be seen roaming around on the seats of a PIA plane.
A passenger was shocked to see cockroaches roaming around freely on the seats that he was supposed to sit on. He made a video of the deplorable condition that he found the seats in and posted it online which then went viral.
Over the past few years, the official Pakistani airline has seen a lot of back lash due to the poor condition of its aircraft, number of crashes their airplanes have been in, overall mismanagement and staff behavioural issues.
Last month, a senior pilot on the Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) flight came under fire for handing over the aircraft to an under-training pilot some time after the take-off while he caught up on a two-and-a-half-hour nap in the passenger compartment. The action was a direct compromise to air safety while also putting lives of over 305 passengers at stake.
In another such instance in March, a PIA air hostess was reportedly taken into custody for shoplifting at a mall in Paris.
Last but not the least, at least 21 kilogrammes of heroin was recovered from London-bound PIA flight PK 785 at Islamabad airport in May. The heroin was concealed in the catering galley of the flight PK-785.
