Islamabad: Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) is facing criticisms for a video it has made in collaboration with a Polish tourist who is seen doing the ''Kiki challenge'' inside an empty aircraft.
The video has gone viral on social media.
Polish tourist Eva Bianka Zubeck on Monday created the video where she could be seen performing the Kiki challenge with the Pakistani flag wrapped around her body.
The issue escalated quickly, so much that Zubeck had to issue a clarification within hours of posting the said video, reported Dawn News.
"Eva zu Beck from Poland/England is a Global Citizen travelling around the world, but now her heart is set on Pakistan! She has been exploring Pakistan flying #PIA. She will be celebrating Independence Day in a style never before attempted in the world! Stay tuned for updates," the PIA had posted as it shared the video on Twitter.

Pakistan's National Accountability Bureau (NAB) , however, ordered probe against the PIA for allegedly disgracing the flag and misuse of the authority.
“We want to know that who allowed the woman to go into an empty aircraft and dance at the airport,” the NAB spokesman told Dawn.
