Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) is our national carrier that was once reputable for having one of the best pilots on earth. In fact, about a decade or two ago, the emerging international airlines sought training of their pilots and crew from some of the best local pilots and their staff. Now, PIA is laden with corruption and is truly a shadow of its former self, yet efforts are brought together to revive the name that once Pakistanis proudly boast of.

This is the greatest example of professional skills. PIA pilots are known to be one of the best pilots and it got proved, seriously. No matter if the national carrier is entangled in credit crunch and corruption, this incident surely stands-out in all positivity. The passengers thanked him and you could see what a humble man he is!
He delivers a great speech, humbly thanking all the people for their encouragement and support and took no credit whatsoever. Hats off!
