A pilot of national airline Maldivian has been suspended over a leaked audio conversation.

The media reports that the pilot had complained of working conditions in the leaked audio clip being circulated on social media.

RaajjeTV was unable to contact Maldivian for a response.

In the audio clip, the pilot had complained that the head of flight operations refused to listen to their complaints of poor working conditions.

Speaking to RaajjeTV, Abdul Haris, the Managing Director of Island Aviation – which runs Maldivian, said the audio clip was fake and edited for a specific agenda.
