PIA says mother, infant doing well after reported airconditioning failure

Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) on Thursday came out on social media to update people on the health of the mother and ‘unconscious’ baby, who were on board in PK750 after which its airconditioning had reportedly stopped working, saying that both are doing fine.

The national carrier’s tweet said, “The PIA CEO sent his representative to meet with the family and also called to find out about their welfare. The inquiry for the incident is underway. Our passengers are important to us.”

A video of a baby who had allegedly fallen unconscious due to faulty air conditioning on a PIA flight was shared on social media and TV channels on Wednesday, prompting the national carrier’s spokesperson to take notice.

The other passengers could also be heard demanding for the door to be opened, with some of them fanning the baby and others chanting “shame” at the officials.
