Prime Minister, Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani on Thursday asked the management of Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) to improve its services and strictly observe punctuality in its flight operations. Chairing a meeting here to discuss the matters of the airline, the PM said he would like to see PIA regain past distinction among the international carriers.
He urged upon the management to adopt modern management techniques to help improve its services. He observed that though modernisation of fleet is quite important, yet the image of any airline heavily depends mainly on care, courtesy and efficiency of the staff as well as management.
He assured them that the government is cognisant of the financial constraints of the corporation, adding the management could popularise and enhance business of the airline by improving passenger care and services. He mentioned that the government has already launched a number of schemes including housing schemes for the welfare of PIA employees.
Gilani stressed the need to review working of the corporation to introduce cost efficient measures to reduce the expenditure. He said now it is the responsibility of the employees to work with dedication to make the Pakistan flag carrier as a recognised airline in the world.
