Advisor to Prime Minister on Aviation Sardar Mehtab Ahmed Khan has said that a major restructuring of PIA has been done on modern lines and airline’s management is being made to become lean and smart in order to improve its efficiency and revive the airline.
PIA, which remained a leader in the aviation industry must work as a commercial company with corporate structure and culture, he said.
He said this while talking to renowned businessman and former PIA board member, Arif Habib, on Friday at Islamabad.
Sardar Mehtab Ahmad Khan said that PIA is being turned into a modern airline in order to catch pace with the world’s most successful airlines.
