LETTER: This is apropos a Business Recorder op-ed "PIA: govt's left only one option". The writer, Farhat Ali, has argued, among other things that "Under focus of the global aviation regulators is now the competence and conduct of our aviation regulator, namely, Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). The government has decided to bifurcate it into two different entities - a regulator for aviation activities and an administrator for airports."
His is a wise proposal which must be taken into consideration by the concerned authorities. However, one of the options suggested by him in relation to the national airline does not make any sense. He has, for example, proposed liquidation of PIA. Is it a solution or a sinister ploy? Winding up the affairs or business of PIA by ascertaining its liabilities and apportioning assets is hardly any solution.
