Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) air hostess Fareeha Mukhtar who went missing in Canada has been traced and is reportedly staying with a former air hostess Mahira who had also disappeared in Canada two years ago. On September 11, a PIA flight from Toronto returned to Lahore with one less crew member as Mukhtar went missing. Sources claimed that Mukhtar who had been suspended a few years ago for her alleged involvement in smuggling phones and foreign currency, flew to Canada and sought asylum there. Mukhtar, who had been banned from flying on international flights, managed to board the flight to Toronto using political influence. A PIA spokesperson on September 19 had said that the Canadian police had been informed of Mukhtar’s missing.
