Islamabad: The plane
was full but the toilet wasn't. So, throwing all rules and caution
to the wind, a Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) captain
blithely decided to accommodate two passengers in the toilet of
the Lahore-Karachi flight instead.
The incident took place on a flight from Lahore to Karachi due to
non-availability of seats, Geo News said Wednesday, adding tongue
in cheek that the national carrier was introducing "its amazing
new service for its valued passengers".
The captain of flight PK 303 accommodated two passengers in the
aircraft toilet, as all the seats in the plane were occupied.
In December last year, Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani had
rejected a business plan submitted by the management of the
country's floundering national carrier.
Gilani said that being a commercial entity, an organisation like
PIA had to work out a strategy to overcome its difficulties, make
up for the losses and provide satisfactory service to its
passengers.
The proposed restructuring plan includes corporate governance,
financial restructuring, operational restructuring and marketing.
The prime minister had issued a stern warning to the PIA in
November.
He had said: "Business as usual is unacceptable."
