Protest erupted at Dammam airport after a Pakistani pilot refused to fly further after an emergency landing, saying that his shift had ended. However, the pilot was just following rules to ensure flight safety.
Although the pilot’s action started a huge buzz online, the Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) clarified that that pilots need proper rest after their shifts end before flying again.
The PIA flight PK-9754 was enroute to Islamabad from Riyadh, but had to make an emergency stop in Dammam due to bad weather, The Express Tribune reported.
