The PIA staffers had to pick their luggage and then take it to their airplane themselves.
It is believed that flights were being delayed owing to members of the cabin crew taking time to reach the planes.

The designated staff will ensure expeditious clearance of crew members from the government agencies on both arrivals and departures, it added.
