Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) is on the way to revamp the national carrier and in its latest attempt, the airline has taken to the challenge to improve in-flight hygienic conditons.
In its recent improvements, the PIA has announced of replacing its pillows with disposable ones. This initiative has been taken by the airline to provide and ensure that its passengers get hygienic products during their flight.

However, some Twitter users were quick to point if the decision is cost-effective and whether disposable pillows are environmentally friendly or not. On the other hand, there were many who appreciated the latest improvement by PIA.
I hope it doesn't have negative effects on the environment of Pakistan. Up cycling please!

Meanwhile, last month PIA invited the newly-wed Duke and the Duchess of Sussex Prince Harry and Megan Markle to visit the northern areas of Pakistan and travel with the airline. The airline recalled the time when Lady Diana visited the beautiful northern areas of Pakistan.
We watched the #RoyalWeddding & remembered #PrincessDiana & her trip to the northern areas of Pakistan, & we thought how wonderful it would be for the newly weds to visit our northern splendours as well! So #PrinceHarry & #PrincessMeghan, we are ready, just let us know when! #PIA pic.twitter.com/2aVtnqxeZ4
