PIA staffer goes viral on social media for calming baby on Islamabad-Karachi flight

A Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) staffer went vial on social media a couple of days ago for calming an agitated baby during an Islamabad-Karachi flight.

The national flag carrier has been in the news in the recent past mostly for all the wrong reasons, ranging from financial woes to mismanagement and fake pilot licenses.

However, a few days ago, singer Fakhr-e-Alam shared a picture that renewed Pakistanis' hopes in the revival of the once great airline.

Alam shared a photo of the head purser on an Islamabad-Karachi flight cradling a baby in his arms.

The singer shared that the PIA official had come to the aid of an exhausted mother to help her soothe the baby while giving her a break.

"A friend onboard @Official_PIA Islamabad to Karachi early morning flight yesterday shared this. A baby was crying non stop, the mother was exhausted and stressed, she couldn’t comfort the child. So the head purser Mr. Tauheed Daudpota helped the child sleep. Now that truly is GREAT people to fly with," read Alam's tweet.

Twitter praised the act of kindness. One person recalled a similar incident where the PIA flight crew had been accommodating to their family as well.
