Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has implemented stricter regulations for flight attendants travelling to Canada and European countries in response to recent incidents of staff members "slipping away" after arriving in these destinations.
These measures follow a string of incidents where PIA flight attendants have disappeared from their assigned duties upon reaching Canada and European countries.
On November 10, two stewards assigned to a flight from Islamabad to Canada disappeared in Toronto. This incident prompted PIA's decision to impose stricter controls on air hostess travel to Canada and Europe.
This restriction aims to reduce the risk of older flight attendants slipping away as they may be more susceptible to the allure of better job prospects in these regions.
PIA is expected to implement stricter monitoring and communication protocols to track the whereabouts of its flight attendants, particularly those travelling to Canada and Europe.
This may involve more frequent check-ins and enhanced communication channels to ensure that staff members remain accountable during their assignments.
