KARACHI: Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) confirmed on Tuesday that Iran has shut its airspace to Pakistani air craft due to a six-month backlog in transit payments.
PIA owes Iran close to $600,000 in past payments. PIA officials said that the ban may affect the shorter route for flights carrying returning Hajis from Saudi Arabia via Iranian airspace. A redirect to the longer and slightly expensive route over Oman would resolve the issue for the flights, the first of which are expected to start from Thursday. PIA officials said that it is expected that a solution to the current ban will be found through diplomatic channels by tomorrow.
ISLAMABAD: The action committee of the employees` unions of Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has decided to go on a countrywide protest for an indefinite period against the deteriorating condition of the national flag carrier and a recently signed $700 million agreement between its management and a US firm for supply of spares, consumable material, chemicals and other items.
time to move on PIA should think for new dreamliner jet which drinks less fuel and give huge miles

PIA is bankrupt - it is losing Rs, 30Bill per year. its 747, 737 fleet has been grounded because of lack of spares. its latest a/c 777 and ATR-42 are being 'over-used' and these a/c will get 'older' faster than normal because the PIA engg. is cutting corners in their maintenance schedules and we are witnessing problems with these a/c such as engine catching fire (ATR), tire blowouts during taxiing (777) to name a few instances. experienced PIA engg'rs have all bolted to Emirates and Etihad on double/triple salaries. PIA management has signed a 'dubious' spare-parts deal with a dubai-based US company, paid it advances but no spare parts delivery.
PIA is finished IMO.
Saw an article in the newspaper yesterday. The MD PIA said that they are selling B-777 (new wide body jets) , for smaller , narrow body B-737's. What in the world made the PIA do this???
777 is a more advanced, economical, environmental friendly jet as to those 737s.
