It was stated that the suspect was immediately handed over to airport police for further investigation.
“The incident of in-flight theft occurred on Flight P47190 on February 19, 2025. Air Peace remains committed to ensuring the safety and security of passengers and has taken appropriate action,” the statement read.
Concerns were raised by the airline regarding the increasing cases of in-flight theft in recent weeks, and new measures have been announced to address the issue.
“Air Peace is deeply worried about the rise in in-flight thefts. To address this challenge, stronger surveillance measures are being introduced on flights,” the statement added.
As part of these measures, cabin crew members have been directed to remain more vigilant during flights, while in-flight announcements will be made more frequently to remind passengers to secure their belongings and report any suspicious activities.
Additionally, the airline has recommended that the suspect be blacklisted as part of its strict policy against misconduct that affects passenger safety and comfort.
