There was a time when PIA
indeed was an airline that people could look forward to as a good alternative to
the high prices of private airlines. But like almost everything of our country’s
glorious possessions this airline could not be an exception due our corrupt
former rulers. It is said that high fuel prices were also responsible for the
decline and near bankruptcy but this is a small factor to be blamed for such a
large issue.
Though it is acceptable that it has recently faced global economic recession but
the real problem is with the people running or rather ruining it. Every airline
of the world has set some standards as to which air crafts will stay in their
fleet and which need to be grounded. Here the case is different, the officials
of PIA totally neglect the vital area of maintenance of crafts as air crafts are
the source that will generate them money, but they totally ignored their
condition and now the situation is that one after the other their air crafts are
becoming useless thus disturbing , delaying and canceling flights that is not
only irritating and reducing the customers but also causing serious blows to the
existence of the airline itself. Even after being imposed bans by foreign
countries the PIA administration could not open eyes and give attention to it.
It is also feared that a plan has been chalked out to replace this airline with
a new one but even if this is not true, the truth is that PIA indeed needs
attention. If we will not care about our country’s pride no one is going help
out in future then.
