ISLAMABAD: PIA’s chief executive officer Wednesday took notice of a video gone viral of a mother pleading to the crew to open the airplane’s doors as her baby had allegedly fallen unconscious due to faulty air conditioning, Geo News reported.
Dr Musharraf Rasool Cyan, the CEO of the national carrier, ordered an investigation into the incident which took place on the flight from Paris to Islamabad on August 3.
Notices seeking explanations have also been sent to the flight captain and PIA ground crew in Paris. The video showed a woman shouting at crew members to open the plane’s door and pointing at an infant.
