KARACHI:

PIA on Thursday named one of the company's senior executives as acting CEO as it prepares for the resumption of European flights following the lifting of a ban.

The airline needs to appoint a permanent CEO. In the interim, it issued a statement on Thursday saying Khurram Mushtaq, previously head of PIA's Commercial, Airport Services, Flight Services, Security and Vigilance departments, would "take charge of the office after the tenure of Air Vice Marshal Amir Hayat comes to an end". It did not specify when that was.

A failed attempt to privatise the airline in October received a single offer, well below its asking price.
