According to some media reports the PIA has agreed to a deal with the Turkish Airline to hand over its profitable business routes to Turkish Airline while in response it will help PIA gain its regional routes. This arrangement would not only ruin the national carrier but also spoil the potential of best human resources of PIA while giving away its loyal Pakistani passengers to foreign airline.
This MoU states that the PIA would end its operations to the USA, Germany, Spain, Italy, France and the Netherlands. Media reports also raised voice of PIA associations and unions on the issue while they termed the managements unwise marketing policy to convert an international airline into a regional one while giving its international business to other airlines. Now all the employees of PIA will be working to earn profits for another airline while its own shareholders are waiting since years to earn profit from their investments.
