Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has suspended air hostess Hina Sani following their detention by Customs officials at Toronto Pearson International Airport on charges of alleged violation of discipline.
Hina Sani has been suspended pending further investigation into the incident. A departmental inquiry is scheduled to be conducted against her upon her arrival in Pakistan this evening.
The detention occurred after the air hostess, assigned to PIA flight number PK-789 from Lahore to Toronto, was allegedly found in possession of contraband by Customs authorities. After undergoing a lengthy interrogation, the air hostess was eventually released by Customs officials.

Hina Sani was also not rostered to serve on the return flight, PK-798, indicating discrepancies in her duty assignment. As a result, disciplinary action has been taken against her, and further departmental measures are expected to be implemented.
A spokesperson for PIA confirmed the suspension of the air hostess under disciplinary action, while departmental action would be initiated against her.
On Friday, it was reported that Hina Sani, posted on the PIA flight from Lahore to Toronto, was detained at the Toronto airport following the discovery of passports belonging to individuals purportedly unrelated to her.
Sources revealed that passports of allegedly unrelated persons were found in the possession of the detained air hostess. According to insider information, this is not the first instance of concern regarding the conduct of the air hostess. She had previously been warned for allegedly bringing contraband into Canada.
