PIA advised passengers to install its mobile application only through official app stores or the airline’s official channels. It also warned customers not to share personal or financial information with unknown individuals.
The warning comes amid a rise in cyber fraud cases in Pakistan, where scammers have been using the airline’s branding to push fake discount offers and suspicious download links.
Such scams can expose users to malware, financial theft and misuse of personal data, prompting PIA to remind passengers to verify all communication before responding.
