AYAZ MEHMOOD MALIK – from Cabin to Cockpit:
Believe in dreams, but dwell over them only when you have enough passion to achieve them. This is true for Ayaz, who not only dreamt but fulfilled those dreams, as well. PIA Cabin Crew Ayaz Mehmood Malik belonged to a military family and also wanted to join the Army. However, fate had other plans for him and he couldn’t get into the forces.
Heartbroken and purposeless, Ayaz’s passion for flying took him to PIA where he completed his training and enrolled himself as a Flight Steward. Fast-forward, it has been 12 years that he has been serving PIA and hasn’t looked back. With time, Ayaz realized that he wasn’t just meant to experience traveling through planes, but he was meant to fly them as well. With this in mind, he enrolled in the flying school, successfully got his Commercial Pilot license in just two years, and also completed his mandatory flying hours.
Ayaz is now waiting for the First Officers’ inductions in PIA, so he can apply and fulfill his desire, which now he believes was his destiny. From cabin to cockpit, his journey has been extremely difficult; getting a flying license and becoming a Commercial Pilot along with performing his job as a Cabin Crew wasn’t easy. At times, Ayaz lost all hope, but now when he looks back, he feels proud of all the hardships that he has stood through and of all the dreams that he has fulfilled.
For Ayaz Mehmood Malik, sitting in the cockpit and flying around the world is his ultimate life goal. For him, the sky is truly the limit!
