Karachi: Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has expressed reservations over permission granted to a new private airline, Indus Airline, to operate passenger flights by Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).

Sources told The News Tribe that Civil Aviation Authorities (CAA) has recently permitted two new airlines, Indus Airline and Pearl Airline, to operate flight from Pakistan’s airports.

They said that the national flag carrier had expressed reservations over the permission granted to Indus Airline, arguing that this would further deteriorate the ailing financial health of the airline.

The PIA authorities were of the view that operation of Indus Airline would cause technical as well as financial problems to national flag carrier.

    Problem of PIA is PIA itself. Let the new carriers to come in and compete in the market. It will create jobs and lower the fares. You cant destroy an industry just on the basis that one company is in financial crunch. PIA needs to lay off its excessive employees and operate as professional airline.
