Another PIA steward goes missing in Canada

Another steward of Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has reportedly gone missing in Canada, making it the twelfth such incident this year.

Moshin Raza was part of the PK-784 from Islamabad to Toronto. He was scheduled to report for the return flight on October 13.

“Raza was a resident of Islamabad. Despite submitting his passport to the administration, he reportedly slipped,” said sources.

The cabin crew’s disappearance was revealed when he did not report on his duty in the returning flight.

“The investigation into the matter has been initiated, and if the suspected air host turns out to be guilty, he will be terminated as a result,” said a spokesperson.

Earlier in March, 47-year-old Jibran Baloch, part of PK-783, went missing in Canada. He did not report for the return flight. When the staff opened his hotel room, he was not present there.

In February, an air hostess, Maryam Raza, had also vanished from the hotel room in Toronto after arriving on flight PK-782 from Islamabad.

According to the sources, more than 12 crew slipped in the year, while seven cases of missing cabins had been reported last year.

The official believed that this trend of disappearing in Canada is due to the flexible law, which offers asylum after entering the country.
