Another PIA flight attendant caught smuggling mobiles

In yet another smuggling scandal involving the Pakistan International Airlines (PIA), an air hostess was caught attempting to smuggle dozens of high-value mobile phones into the country on a flight from Abu Dhabi, Customs officials disclosed on Saturday.

The air hostess, a crew member of flight PK-264, was intercepted at Lahore's Allama Iqbal International Airport after her luggage raised suspicion.

After her luggage was flagged for inspection, officials uncovered dozens of expensive mobile phones concealed in her belongings upon a thorough search. The phones were confiscated, and disciplinary action has been initiated against the air hostess, according to Customs officials.

"Her baggage raised red flags, prompting us to conduct a detailed inspection," an official said. The contraband was immediately seized, and further investigations are underway. The incident follows a string of smuggling cases involving PIA staff.
