Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has reportedly taken decisive action by removing its Regional Sales Manager in Dubai, Zeeshan Ahmed, following multiple complaints of harassment against him. The allegations involve inappropriate conduct towards female employees, including a staff member of the Dubai National Air Travel Agency (Dnata).
The decision to remove Ahmed from his position comes after PIA received several complaints regarding his behavior. A PIA spokesperson confirmed to the media that the national carrier’s administration has launched an investigation into the matter. The complaints were initially brought to PIA’s attention by Dnata, the General Sales Agent in Dubai.
The spokesperson revealed that Ahmed has been specifically accused of harassing a female employee at Dnata. Evidence supporting these allegations has been submitted to PIA’s administration via email, prompting further scrutiny.
In addition to the internal investigation by PIA, a Dubai-based woman has filed a formal complaint against Zeeshan Ahmed with the Federal Ombudsman, which is currently under review.
