It seems that Pakistan International Airlines just can’t get a break these days.
The national carrier is facing multiple challenges to its public image these days, most of it overwhelming negative. The airline is facing record losses, trying to revamp its image, coming under fire for selling an aircraft for peanuts, and reeling over the crash of the PK-661.
But just when you think that PIA’s public image won’t go any below than it already is, along comes a new development that manages to do just that.
After a spate of incidents involving ATR airplanes at PIA, some over-enthusiastic employees at the national carrier tried to turn to other non-conventional techniques to turn its woeful fortunes around.
A handful of PIA employees sacrificed a black goat as sadqa, in a bid to seek divine blessings. The sacrificial routine was covered by media organizations and before anyone knew it, the story became quite the talk of the country.
Pakistani social media, as usual, had a lot to say about it.
Here are what people are saying about the whole episode.
