UK HOTEL REFUSES TO BOOK ROOMS TO PIA MALE CREW BECAUSE THEY ‘PESTER’ FEMALE GUESTS

A hotel in the United Kingdom has reportedly banned any male member of Pakistan International Airlines (PIA), the national flag carrier for the country, from booking a room with them, Express News reported.

PIA airlines and its staff have been in the media spotlight a number of times this year including in May, when British authorities confirmed that heroin was found on a PIA flight at London’s Heathrow airport.

After a thorough search authorities confiscated all the passports from cabin crew members on board after finding the drugs hidden in the plane’s panels.

The National Crime Agency of Britain is still investigating the discovery of narcotics from the Islamabad-London flight, PK-785.

Similarly, in February, a Heathrow-bound PIA aircraft was intercepted and escorted by British warplanes to Stansted airport in northeast London because of a ‘vague security threat’.

Later, a suspect was arrested and charged with fraud and misrepresentation by Metropolitan Police.
