//Pakistan's flag carrier has drawn widespread criticism for putting out an advertisement that showed a plane flying towards the Eiffel Tower.

The ad was meant to promote the resumption of Pakistan International Airlines' flights to the French capital and had the caption "Paris, we're coming today".

Some social media users noted the ad's resemblance to the terrorist attacks in the US on 11 September 2001.

"Is this an advertisement or a threat?" one user wrote on X. Another called for the company to "fire your marketing manager".

 

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has ordered an investigation into the matter, while Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar has also criticised the ad//

Who could possibly have imagined that was a good idea?

Cultural differences.

You would think that ads and designs would need to go through some sort of process of checks to avoid disasters like this.

 

The BBC have caught up I see.

Some zombies were talking about this a week ago.

Seems an overactive imagination by some.

Flying to France could well result in images of aircraft and French icons.

 

Still, the customer is always right, unless a company wants to go broke.  Question is whether the complainants are customers.

Wouldn't have been too taxing to think that the plane would have been better situated in front of the tower, Old Geezer.

I would imagine someone has had the Tin tac over this.  I doubt it was deliberate, just incompetance or lazyness.
