A video capturing the frustration of passengers on a Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) flight has gone viral on social media. The delay, attributed to a fuel shortage, led to heated arguments between irate passengers and airline staff.
Originally posted on TikTok by user @arkhamkhanofficial, the video shows passengers pleading with airline staff for a resolution. Some passengers express significant financial losses due to hotel and rental car bookings, while others criticize the state of the national carrier.
The passengers repeatedly request the staff to contact higher management, expressing concerns about the lack of communication regarding flight cancellations. The video highlights the challenges faced by passengers and sheds light on the operational difficulties faced by PIA.
Although the exact date of the video is unclear, it aligns with incidents in October when PIA had to cancel or reschedule 349 flights due to a fuel shortage. The airline was reportedly in a dispute with Pakistan State Oil over payments.
