On this report, India Today Global Editor Pranay Upadhyay discusses the viral footage exposing the dilapidated state of Pakistan International Airlines (PIA). The video, shared by a business class passenger, reveals cracked seats, worn-out upholstery, and dated amenities, which Upadhyay describes as a ‘third world experience in first class cabin’. He highlights the severe financial crisis of the national carrier, noting that PIA has lost over 600 billion rupees in the last decade. Despite a recent restructuring led by businessman Arif Habib, the airline continues to operate a fleet of only 18 aircraft with an average age of 17 years. Upadhyay emphasizes that while a consortium has promised improvements, the current state of the airline remains a ‘global laughing stock’ and a ‘big shame for Pakistan’. The discussion underscores the agony of flyers who pay premium prices for what is described as a neglected and dated travel experience.
