The Ministry of Privatisation said that it has received Statement of Qualifications from eight entities after the time to submit the expression of interest ended at 4pm on Friday.

“The Privatisation Commission has received Statement of Qualifications from (1) Fly Jinnah, (2) Air Blue Limited, (3) Arif Habib Corporation Limited, (4) Sardar Ashraf D. Baluch - SHANXI CIG Co Ltd (China), (5) Gerry’s International (Private) Limited, (6) Consortium Lead by Y.B. Holdings (Private) Limited, (7) Consortium Lead by Pak Ethanol and (8) Consortium Lead by Blue World City,” it said in a press release.

The Privatisation Commission will now carry out the pre-qualification process in line with the criteria laid down in the RSOQS, under the PC Ordinance 2000 and rules & regulations framed thereunder.

“Accordingly, the pre-qualified parties will be invited for the next stage of bidding process.”

The deadline to submit expression of interest (EoI) was earlier extended by two weeks (May 3 to May 17) by Federal Minister for Privatisation, Abdul Aleem Khan, amid unconfirmed reports that local and international companies had shown preliminary interest in PIA’s privatisation.

The minister had also said that three local airlines were also among potential parties and wanted to form a consortium with international companies.

PIA privatisation is a failure of the corrupt government of Pakistan. Unable to manage PIA properly & PIA is going to be sold very cheap.

Best option would be to sell it to Turkish Airlines (TK) and with already ongoing codeshare agreements, it would essentially 'flip' PIA and allow them to fly back to EU, US, etc.

I think the best option would be to go for Air Blue so that locals and Pakistanis can benefit from the dividends.....Fly Jinnah is sub outlet of airarabia and has nothing local except name
