PIA has strongly denied rumors circulating on social media that an entire flight crew has gone missing. The airline has termed these claims completely false, misleading, and without any factual basis.
According to PIA officials, no such incident has occurred, and all flight operations and crew movements are normal. The airline clarified that the news being shared online is fake and appears to be deliberately spread to damage the reputation of PIA and Pakistan.
Authorities have also rejected the claims and confirmed that there is no record or report of any missing crew members.
PIA management expressed concern over the spread of unverified information on social media platforms, stating that such rumors create unnecessary panic among passengers and the general public. The airline urged people to rely only on official sources for authentic information related to aviation and national institutions.
Officials further said that PIA follows strict operational, safety, and reporting procedures. Any serious incident, if it were to happen, would be immediately reported through official channels. The absence of any official notification itself proves that the circulating claims are baseless.
Authorities are reportedly reviewing the situation to identify the source of the false information. They emphasized that spreading fake news not only harms national institutions but also affects public trust and confidence.
PIA once again assured passengers that all flights are operating safely and that crew members are present and accounted for. The airline advised the public to avoid sharing unverified news and to check facts before believing or forwarding such claims.
The incident highlights the growing challenge of misinformation online and the importance of responsible use of social media.
