CJP Saqib Nisar summons PIA MD along with audit report

F.P. Report

ISLAMABAD: Chief Justice of Pakistan Justice Saqib Nisar on Friday has summoned the Managing director of Pakistan International Airline along with an audit report.

Supreme court of Pakistan issued a statement in this regard and according to it, CJP has summoned the PIA chief in person on April 12 and he has directed to bring with him a 10-year audit report of the airlines as well as the account statement of the last decade.

Earlier on April 1, the Apex court took notice of PIA’s decision to give up profitable routes to other airlines and the intended privatization of the airline.

The court had also reportedly directed that no fresh recruitment shall be made in the PIA.

The loss-making national airline has accumulated vast debt over several years owing to official mismanagement.

The present government earlier attempted to privatise part of the airline, including its management, but the plans were put on the backburner after opposition from other political parties and the airline’s staff.
