Another Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) steward has reportedly gone missing in Toronto, raising concerns over the increasing number of cabin crew members allegedly slipping away while on duty.
The missing crew member, identified as Mohsin Raza, was supposed to report for duty on flight PK 784 bound for Karachi on October 13. However, before the flight, Islamabad-based Raza was found missing in the hotel. He was posted as a cabin crew member on the Islamabad-Toronto route.
The steward was declared missing when he did not report for the flight.
This incident marks the 12 time in one year that a PIA flight attendant has allegedly gone missing after a layover in Toronto. Despite efforts by PIA to prevent such occurrences, including the policy of submitting air hostesses' passports to airline officials while in Canada, the practice appears to have been ineffective in curbing the issue.
The PIA spokesperson confirmed that action has been initiated against the missing air hostess, and the matter is being investigated. The airline has previously faced similar challenges with its cabin crew, raising concerns about the internal measures in place to prevent such incidents from recurring.
