In a bid to enhance passenger privacy and security, Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has announced a new policy prohibiting the use of cameras on board its flights. The policy, which takes effect immediately, bans passengers from taking photos or videos during the flight.
According to a statement released by PIA, the decision comes as part of the airline’s efforts to ensure a comfortable and secure environment for all travelers. The policy applies to both personal and professional devices, and violators may face penalties, including fines or potential legal action.
“Passenger privacy and safety are our top priorities,” said a PIA spokesperson. “This new policy is designed to protect the personal space of all individuals on board and to prevent any potential security issues.”
The airline has advised passengers to be mindful of the new rules and to comply with crew instructions regarding the use of electronic devices during their journey. PIA also emphasized that the policy is intended to be implemented with consideration and respect for passengers’ needs and concerns.
The move has sparked a mixed reaction among travelers, with some supporting the initiative for its focus on privacy, while others express concerns about the restrictions on capturing moments during their flight.
