An incident of PDA (public display of affection) on a flight caused an uproar. A couple was allegedly caught kissing on a domestic AirBlue flight.
According to Express Tribune, the couple’s public ‘loving’ had a passenger of PA-200, a Karachi-Islamabad flight on 20th May, riled up.
Reportedly, eyewitnesses claim the couple seated in the fourth row were kissing. When fellow passengers began complaining, a flight attendant asked the couple to stop. When the couple continued with the PDA, the cabin crew gave them a blanket to keep their ‘PDA under wraps’.

Advocate Bilal Farooq Alvi, who was on board the plane, lodged a complaint with the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) against the airline staff for not taking action to stop the couple. It’s unclear if the cabin crew had the legal jurisdiction to forcefully ask their customers to stop their PDA. CAA is said to be looking into the matter.
The Advocate shared a video message on social media detailing the alleged actions of the couple.
Netizens aren’t too kind about making a big deal of a bit of PDA.

You can piss in public, but can't kiss in public.

This wouldn’t be the first time, PDA had people riled up. Previously a soon-to-be-wed couple was kicked out of the University of Lahore (UoL) over their viral proposal video that showcased the couple hugging.
Later the Human Rights Ministry of Pakistan (HRCP) and many in the public called for UoL to readmit the students as a little PDA isn’t illegal.
At least one Male crew member per flight should be made mandatory to hand such situation
Absolutely Right.

This isn’t fair to all of the private airlines that don’t hire male flight attendants. The male cabin staff is well-versed in dealing with this, as well as any other emergency situation. I’d like to request that all private airlines hire male cabin crew members.
