PIA Air Hostess Arrested in Paris for Shoplifting

Post by Abbas Ali »

JAWED ASGHAR

A Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) air hostess was arrested on Monday night in Paris for shoplifting at a shopping centre, PIA sources told Dawn News.

The air hostess, Afshan Khalid, was spotted by CCTV cameras as she stole items, prompting the shopping centre's security personnel to apprehend her and hand her over to the police, said a source in the national airline.

Khalid was detained by French authorities for five hours and released after PIA's station manager in Paris posted her bail, PIA sources said.

PIA management has taken notice of the incident and have ordered a full investigation into the matter, Yaqoob PIA's general manager flight services, told Dawn News.

Yaqoob added that the air hostess will be barred from flying on any international flight for a duration of six months.

"Once the investigation is complete, strict action will be taken against Afshan Khalid," he added.

This is the second incident of this sort. It seems that thieves have been hired instead of air hostesses. Shameful!

Not the second incident. I can recall at three other incidents, two in Manchester and one in the US.
