KARACHI: The Chairman & CEO PIA Tariq Kirmani, visited the PIA Flight Kitchen being managed by the Singapore Airport Terminal Services (SATS) to review the progress made so far. According to the press release of PIA, the chairman visited most areas of the kitchen and noted with concern of the kitchen, its floors and the manner in which some of the things were being prepared there.

He also checked the equipment being used in different areas in the process of preparing the food and asked them to get some new equipment so that the kitchen can be run on more modern lines. He directed the managers to ensure that healthy, hygienic and clean food is served to our passengers.

He visited the bakery section and cautioned the managers that the cakes and pastries served to the passengers should be of a greater variety and they should be fresh. Similarly, the presentation of salads made should be looked into and made more appealing. There should be some variety in salads too and the same type of salads served to the passengers should be avoided.

The same fate awaits the defunct TGS division of PIA. Swissport , the new contractors of PIA ramp services have recently contracted female staff for aircraft cleaning services at PKR 4000 p.m. The salary is billed to PIA.
Pointers towards an enviable turnaround in 2007.

PIA is being billed PKR 1000 per meal on an average. Value for money??

Replicas galore! First the PIA flight kitchen. Then PIA TGS and soon to follow-- PIA wide body hangar. PIA is being torn apart under a well thought out plan. Started off with Shahid Khaqan, consolodated by Ch. Ahmed Saeed and the curtains; by TK ..

I think DEZI is referring to PKR 1000 per meal being charged to PIA.
