During audit of PIA Islamabad Office for years 2016-17, it was observed that 46 flights were operated without any passengers, resulting loss of PKR 184.00 million (average 200 passengers per flight x PKR 20,000/- average fare x 46 flights) excluding 36 flights for Hajj and Umrah.
Audit is of the view that operation of flights without passengers shows lack of proper planning and control on the part of the management.
