The Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has sent an internal instruction memo to the cabin crew instructing them to be dressed properly, which includes wearing proper “UNDERGARMENTS”.

The poor dressing of the cabin crew is leaving a bad impression and portraying a negative image about the airlines, the memo said, as quoted by Geo TV which also called the ‘undergarments’ order strange.

The Geo TV claimed to be in possession of the instruction memo which said: “It has been observed with great concern that a few cabin crew tend to dress casually while travelling intercity, staying in hotels and visiting various suffices.

Such dressing leaves a poor impression on the viewer and portrays a negative image of not only the individual but also of the organization.”

The cabin crew has to dress properly in formal plain clothes over “proper undergarments”, it said. The clothing should also be in accordance with Pakistan’s culture and national morals, the guideline reportedly said.

Pakistani media reported that Pakistan’s aviation and railway minister Khawaja Saad Rafique held a meeting with the PIA officials to improve the service of the national carrier. The minister instructed to make the in-flight entertainment system functional for the passengers as soon as possible.
