Usual waste of resources, and shows why PIA manages to run losses of billions of rupees. Who wouldn’t under this leadership?

If the government is so concerned about investigating issues in PIA, they should investigate why several tenders have been floated for fleet interior upgrades/IFE repair/general overhaul and none have ever been seen to fruition. Or why millions of rupees have been given in contracts that have never produced any services. Or even how so many PIA crew manage to escape in Canada every second flight.

These are far more pressing concerns, but as usual our priority is fixing the deckchairs while the Titanic sinks.
