KARACHI:
Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) plans to lease seven new jets by year-end, aiming to increase the size of its fleet to 42 aircraft; one of the largest ever, airline’s Chairman Nasser N A Jaffer said on Thursday.

“Not everything is right but we are trying to improve the situation by bringing in changes,” he said at a media briefing.

“With these aircraft we will serve more passengers. This is the first time in PIA’s history that so many planes have been inducted in the fleet in such a short span of time.”

Right now the airline has 35 aircraft including 11 ATRs, nine Airbus 320s, nine Boeings 777s and six A310s. Out of these, 30 aircraft are operational while five await repair work.


The jets that will join the fleet over the next few months also include three Boeing 777s.

When PIA is going to be privatized to 100%?

They were going to privatize it 26% and giving the control to the privatized body ... But according to PIA clause in 1956 ; PIA operations can't be given to third party

So to privatize the PIA .. LAw should be changed

 

[Bouncer]

Just privatize it already!

I think let PAF handle this affairs as they are most Capable to handle PIA type organization in Pakistan due to their experience with different kinds of Airplanes.
