The Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has shockingly prevented air hostesses and other members of the crew from fasting in Ramazan, reported 24NewsHD TV channel on Tuesday.
The PIA sources said that the crew was barred from fasting due to medical reasons, adding that a safety bulletin had also been issued for the crew members who wanted to fast. “The crew members wishing to fast will be granted leave for the period required.”
However, sources in the PIA confirmed to 24NewsHD that the leave of the applicants wishing to fast was not being approved.
“The PIA crew has been performing official duties while fasting for years, and no incident of alleged failure has been reported,” said the sources.
The PIA spokesperson was not available for comment despite being contacted repeatedly.
