Pakistan International Airline has been taken over by officials of Pakistan Air Force who will serve in Uniform for at least next 3 to 4 years.
Government of Pakistan approved the new management structure after flip flopping on the role of Air Marshal Arshad Khan.
Prime Minister Imran Khan chaired a high-level meeting, which was very surprisingly attended by
Chief of Army Staff General Qamar Bajwa,
Chief of Air Staff Air Chief Marshal Mujahid Anwar Khan as well as key ministers.
PTI government approved movement of key AIR Force officials to PIA. The meeting also decided deputation of PAF officers to PIA for 03 years. These officers will perform duties in uniform during this period. It was also decided a summary will be processed for positioning of 08 additional Armed Forces’ officers (04 from PAF and 04 from Pak Army) at PIA.
According to the new structure Air Marshal Arshad Malik who was appointed as CEO and President then notified that he is just acting CEO. His position will be advertised and after seeing the advertisement it is clear it is tailor made for him. So let’s assume he will stay CEO for the next 3 years.
