Some netizens linked this video to a Pakistani airline, the PIA and made it viral on different social media platforms including Twitter again today.
It is worth mentioning that Pakistan's Civil Aviation Authorities (CAA) have already rejected the rumours that the beggar was a Pakistani national.
The CAA has issued a statement regarding the video, stating that it is not recent and it does not show a beggar from Pakistan. The video was actually recorded about five years ago on a flight from Doha to Shiraz. The beggar in the video is an Iranian national. There is no connection between the video and Pakistan.
