Another Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) flight attendant has gone missing in Canada following the arrival of the national airline's flight from Lahore to Toronto.

Junaid Qureshi, the flight steward in question, was part of the flight crew travelling from Lahore to Toronto on Thursday.

However, upon arrival, he did not appear for his scheduled return flight to Pakistan on Saturday.

The incident marks the third instance this year of a PIA flight attendant allegedly 'disappearing' in Canada.

The management has taken action by suspending the flight attendant and has communicated with Canadian authorities, urging them to take appropriate measures in response to the situation.

Earlier last month, after a PIA flight from Islamabad landed in Toronto, two of the airline's flight attendants, Khalid Afridi and Fida Shah, went missing in Canada.

Numerous flight attendants from the national airline, including both female and male cabin crew, have reportedly gone missing abroad.
