Pakistan's national airline PIA has shocked the aviation world by the apparent sacrifice of a goat beside a plane at the nation’s main international airport.
The animal was slaughtered before a test flight of a PIA plane of the same type that crashed on December 7, killing all 48 people on board. The plane was flying from Chitral to Islamabad when it came down.
Muhammad Azam Saigol, PIA's chairman, had put in his papers last week citing personal reasons.
The Pakistan's national airline has been widely mocked for sacrificing the goat to ward off bad luck.
