Turkmenistan issues notice to PIA over non-payment of dues

Turkmenistan authorities on Friday issued a notice to the Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) for non-payment of fees related to use of the country’s airspace for international flights.

The PIA uses Turkmenistan’s airspace for flights to Europe and Canada. The Turkmenistan government has alleged that Pakistan’s national carrier has been using its airspace and has not made a payment for months. The aviation authorities of Turkmenistan asked the national carrier to pay the dues by November 3.

Earlier in April this year, the Saudi General Authority of Civil Aviation had sent a notification to the PIA regarding non-payment of dues worth millions of rupees. The PIA has been suffering losses worth billions of rupees since many years and its accumulated dues have been on the rise.
