A Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) flight attendant has reportedly gone missing after arriving in Toronto last week. According to reports, steward Aijaz Ali Shah went missing in Canada shortly after appearing for immigration at Toronto airport.
According to reports, this was the third such incident this year, despite the PIA’s efforts to prevent such occurrences.
“One of our crew Mr. Ijaz Shah who operated as operating crew on PK781 of 14Oct went missing after the flight,” quoted Abdullah H Khan, PIA general manager of corporate communications, as saying.
The PIA flight from Islamabad landed at Toronto Pearson International Airport at 4 p.m. on October 14. According to reports, Shah was declared missing after failing to appear for his scheduled return flight on Sunday.
Meanwhile, PIA management notified Canadian immigration authorities of the’missing’ crew member. According to reports, Shah, a resident of Bahria Town in Rawalpindi, joined the national flag carrier 20 years ago.
According to the report, Shah quickly moved towards the Canadian immigration counter because he was the first person in the row, but he then vanished, and none of the crew members were able to locate him again at the airport. The other crew members waited for Shah for about two hours in their bus and searched for him at the airport after he went missing from the airport.
