LAHORE: An argument between a Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) pilot and cabin crew became the reason for a three-hour long delay in a flight to London.

The flight captain refused to fly with one particular steward on board as he was involved in a flight smuggling case.

This did not go down well with other crew members who decided to disregard the captain’s hesitance. The cabin crew protested against the captain’s decision and refused to fly if the steward was disembarked.

The flight PK-757 was scheduled to leave at 9:30 am but departed at 12:30 pm.

Passengers present in the flight protested against the delay but were ignored by the airline staff.

PIA authorities said they have ordered an inquiry into the incident.
