A troubling incident occurred on a SereneAir flight at Quetta Airport when the daughter of a former commissioner attacked an air hostess.
Reports state that two passengers, Iftikhar Jogezai and his daughter Saima Jogezai, were travelling on SereneAir flight number 540 from Quetta to Islamabad when the situation unfolded. During check-in on March 18, 2025, Saima allegedly misbehaved with the airline’s counter staff. Witnesses say she appeared intoxicated and stopped other passengers from approaching her.
After boarding, both passengers allegedly insulted and verbally abused the cabin crew when they were politely shown their seats. They eventually sat down, but as the aircraft prepared for takeoff, Saima stood up again. She began shouting profanities and issuing threats, causing discomfort among other passengers.

Seeing the disturbance, the captain decided to return the aircraft and ordered the removal of both passengers. Iftikhar Jogezai exited the plane, but Saima refused to leave. In her rage, she attacked a flight attendant, injuring her. The airline management confirmed that the assault left the cabin crew member with a bleeding nose and a cracked tooth.
Airport Security Force (ASF) arrested both individuals after the attack. Meanwhile, the injured air hostess was rushed to the hospital for treatment. The Quetta Commissioner arrived at the airport immediately, inquired about the situation, and instructed ASF to resolve the issue.
As of now, the father and daughter remain in ASF custody. However, there is increasing official pressure on the airline, airport authorities and ASF to release them. The incident has sparked concerns about airline crew safety, with many calling for strict legal action against such misconduct.
