It was a chaotic scene at the Kuala Lumpur airport as the Pakistani community gathered to protest the seizure of a Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) plane over non-payment of dues. The incident occurred when a Malaysian court instructed the authorities to seize the plane as part of a legal dispute between PIA and a leasing company Aero Malindo.
PIA has been struggling financially for a while now, with the pandemic exacerbating its already dire financial situation. The airline has been forced to ground several planes and cut routes due to a lack of cash flow.
The seizure of the plane not only caused embarrassment for PIA but also raised serious concerns about the airline's financial stability. With PIA being the flag carrier airline of Pakistan, it represents the country's image, and any negative publicity can have severe consequences.
