A spokesperson identified the two flight attendants who slipped away in the latest episode as Khalid Mehmood and Fida Hussain.

Pakistan has seen a large number of its citizens leaving for abroad legally and illegally.
Hundreds of people have lost their lives in trying to reach European countries in search of jobs through human smugglers.
