When PTI’s Andleeb Abbas lost the plot, blames PIA for Emirates accident

PTI politicians are famous for posting content on social media without verification. They are also notorious for claiming that their account was hacked. This time PTI politician Andleeb Abbas tweeted a blunder blaming Pakistan International Airlines for an incident at Islamabad airport, when in fact the incident involved an Emirates aircraft and a Dnata ambulift. Dnata is also owned by Emirates group that owns Emirates airline.Andleeb Abbas tweeted “PIA stands for Perhaps it will Arrive. The collapse of stairs is a collapse of professional management. CEO runs out of the country, Airplane disappears.”
This tweet is not only factually incorrect but it is so dumb that you can only wonder whether the person tweeting it ever thought of checking facts and information before posting it.
Firstly, the stairs did not collapse and we would like to inform her that an ambulift is completely different from stairs. We understand she is probably not expected to know everything, but if she can tweet it, she can google it. So how long does it take to check what she is tweeting, is right?
Secondly, the CEO did not run out of the country. He was allowed to leave, and his subsequent visa was not granted. Furthermore, he was not the CEO, but the COO.
Thirdly, the aircraft did not just disappear into thin air. It is still parked at a remote stand at Leipzig airport. If she struggles to believe this, she can google this.
Additionally, people on Twitter were not as polite as us in responding to her.
Rana Irfan Akhtar replied to Andleeb saying “what has PIA got to do with it? It wasn’t a PIA plane and airports are run by Civil Aviation Authority. It wasn’t a case of PIA plane hitting another plane Madam. Please rewrite your post.”
This comment seemingly fell on to deaf ears, as the tweet is still visible. PIA, whom she blamed, was also quick to respond by tweeting, “Hi Andleeb, no PIA plane was involved in this accident.”
Mohsin Abbasi tweeted “these people are planning to run the country who can not differentiate between an airline and civil aviation authority.”
Muhammad Yasir Nawaz demanded from PIA that “PIA should sue this aunty”
And we believe if PIA should take such matters very seriously as nobody should be allowed to take its reputation for a ride especially based on lies and baseless information. Ironically Andleeb’s bio says “Consultant, Coach, Journalist”. After this blunder, we seriously pray for those who she consults and coaches. Let’s not talk about journalism at least.
