Earlier, another video from Pakistan had surfaced online showing an airline pilot cleaning the windscreen of his plane just before take-off. The footage shows a Serene Air pilot leaning out of the plane’s side window to clear the view ahead. The incident occurred on an Airbus A330-200, which was operating an international flight between Pakistan and Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
The video started a conversation about airline safety protocols and the duties of ground staff. However, a section of the internet said that this is a common practice.
