Man Shares Experience With Pakistan International Airlines Flight
In 2020, due to concerns about compliance with international aviation standards, the European Union banned Pakistan International Airlines (PIA). The ban continues and has earned PIA the status of one of the “most dangerous flights in the world”. Now, if you’re wondering how bad the airline really is, then Instagram user Ali Khan gives us a peek into PIA’s flight.
He took to Instagram to share a video titled, “Most Dangerous Flight In The World On A Banned Airline”. At the beginning of the video, Ali was told that recording on the flight wasn’t allowed, but he continued recording once he reached his seat. He showed the terrifying conditions of the flight that had dust-filled gaps on the chair, broken seat handles and a duct-taped overhead bin.
However, once he was able to overcome the sad condition of the aircraft, he showed the scenic beauty of the northern areas of Pakistan. He was travelling to Skardu and the snow-capped mountain range he captured from the flight was absolutely beautiful.
