Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has been faced with the worst economic crisis in decades, leading to disruptions in its operations due to a critical shortage of fuel.
The country’s national flag carrier is losing up to Rs750 billion because its current situation is the worst in recent times, and dozens of flights are being canceled on a daily basis as a result of the state-owned fuel provider cutting aircraft fuel supply.
Last Friday, the airline had to cancel 58 more flights because things got even worse. Just the day before that, they had to cancel nearly 50 flights, even though they paid a lot of money – over Rs130 million.
In the past two weeks, they had to cancel about 350 flights. Now, they are making new flight schedules day by day.
In this tough situation, PIA is giving priority to flights going to Turkey, China, Canada, Malaysia, and Saudi Arabia.
At the same time, the CEO of PIA encouraged the employees to remain dedicated to upholding organizational rules. He emphasized that it’s essential for all staff to work closely together to ensure strict adherence to organizational guidelines.
