Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has issued a message to its pilots and cabin crew, advising them not to fast during flights in Ramadan.
The message, sent by PIA’s flight safety department, talks about safety concerns connected to fasting. Although fasting is allowed, it could affect flight safety as it might make crew members less alert and able to make decisions.
The memo explains how fasting could lead to issues like low blood sugar and dehydration, which might affect how well the crew can do their job. It highlights how crucial it is for the crew to keep up safety standards, considering their responsibility towards passengers and ground staff.
PIA emphasizes that this advice aims to keep everyone safe and follows the airline’s safety rules. A spokesperson has confirmed that the airline is serious about making sure this policy is followed.
