Lahore: The customs officials at Allama Iqbal International Airport carried out an operation on Saturday and apprehended a PIA air hostess attempting to smuggle foreign currency.
The air hostess was found with US dollars and Saudi riyals, amounting to millions of Pakistani rupees. The incident took place when the air hostess was scheduled to fly from Lahore to Jeddah on a PIA flight.
