In an incident which stunned many passengers on board the Karachi-Islamabad flight PA-200, a Pakistani couple was allegedly caught kissing on the local AirBlue flight.

The incident, which took place earlier on May 20, caused an uproar on the aircraft with a passenger filing an official complaint with Pakistan's Civil Aviation Authority.

The couple seated in the fourth row first began kissing, according to eyewitnesses.

The air hostess then requested the couple to desist after the fellow passengers complained. The air hostess later reportedly provided the couple with a blanket to keep their display of affection under wraps as they did not pay heed to her request.

"Who are you to tell us anything?" the couple hit back when confronted over their actions, claimed the passengers.
