blogTO reached out to PIA to get more information about the medical emergency but did not receive a response back in time for this article's publication. 

The airline has received international attention over the past few months, after over a dozen of its crew members reportedly "slipped away" upon landing at Toronto Pearson International Airport during separate instances, with some blaming the influx of disappearances on the national flag carrier's privatization and low salaries.
