ISLAMABAD: Another cabin crew member of the Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has gone missing in Canada, the national airline spokesman confirmed Monday.
Mohsin Raza, who is from Islamabad, failed to be present at the hotel before the scheduled flight PK 784. His disappearance was discovered when he did not report for duty.
In the past year, the number of PIA attendants who have reportedly gone missing in Toronto has exceeded twelve. Sources indicate that the airline’s policy requiring crew members to submit their passports to airline authorities in Toronto has not been effective.
A spokesperson for PIA confirmed that the airline’s management has begun an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the missing crew member. If found guilty, the airline stated that strict disciplinary action would be taken, which could include termination of employment.
Previously in June, a flight attendant Noor Sher, a member of the 16-member flight attendant team assigned to flight PK 781 from Pakistan to Toronto, Canada also disappeared.
It had been reported that the missing air attendants have applied for asylum in Canada.
