None of the PIA flights is without contreversery. EU USA has banned the PIA entry to their air space. Singapore did the same after multiple warnings. The carrier is on the verge of collapse but the administration management is very rich. Can no one see that Good luck but I doubt the national carrier can be fixed. She has to be liquidated. I know an illiterate person was employe is an engineer. He couldn t even sign a paper.
