A crew member of a flight operated by Pakistan International Airlines from Islamabad disappeared after landing in Toronto on Oct. 14.
A Pakistani flight attendant has gone missing after arriving in Canada Friday.
Ijaz Shah was among the crew members on a Pakistan International Airlines plane that flew from the capital, Islamabad, to Toronto on Oct. 14.
He was aboard flight PK 781 that landed at Toronto Pearson International Airport at 4 p.m. local time.
Shah did not make it to the crew bus taking airline staff members to their hotel following immigration, a PIA spokesperson confirmed to Global News Wednesday.
“When he did not report to the return flight, he was reported to concerned authorities,” he said, adding Shah’s family had been contacted.
Global News has contacted Peel Regional Police, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada as well as Canada Border Services Agency, but has yet to receive a response.
This is not the first time a crew member of PIA, Pakistan’s national carrier, has disappeared in Canada in recent years.
This is the third such incident this year, according to PIA spokesperson Khan. Earlier in January, a flight steward on another PIA flight from Islamabad went missing soon after landing at Toronto, according to local media outlet Dawn.
