The Joint Action Committee of the PIA Employees (JACPIAE) has slammed the intervention of Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, Chief Operating Officer Airblue, in the affairs of national flag carrier with ill-convened ideas to damage a state-owned corporation which is already in severe financial crisis. The JACPIAE spokesman said Abbasi was seemingly working to promote his airlines through weakness of the PIA commercial and operational setbacks while expanding his airlines operations domestically and internationally in parallel. The involvement of Abbasi was an open conflict of interest if he was involved in consultation process for the PIA privatisation or development because his airline had direct competition with the national flag carrier. He said the PIA flights on profitable routes of Birmingham and Frankfurt had been suspended because Abbasi’s airlines had been given permission by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) to start its flights operations on the same routes. He added that the destruction of national flag carrier was being planned to develop private airlines as policymakers had decided to privatise the PIA on the one hand and allow private carrier to run and expand their operations as non-public without listing their companies in the stock exchanges on the other. The JACPIAE’s spokesman lambasted his to support for the business contract between the PIA and the Turkish Airlines, adding that Abbasi’s support seemed obvious for anything which was against the interest of PIA. The business plan of the PIA with the Turkish Airlines was a recipe of complete downfall of the national flag carrier though private airlines were seeking a golden opportunity to expand their businesses locally and globally in the replacement of PIA.
