Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has announced to induct two new aircrafts in its fleet by first quarter of 2019. According to the PIA spokesman, the decision was taken in an executive meeting chaired by chairman & CEO Muhammad Saqib Aziz.
The meeting reviewed the performance of airline during last months. It was discussed in the meeting that due increasing demand in market, enhancement of fleet has become necessary as the present fleet is not sufficient to cater to the demand.
During the meeting, CEO PIA said that the A320 aircraft already under the evaluation phase would be acquired on dry lease strictly in accordance with PPRA Rules and with the acquisition of two aircraft would certainly help PIA in expanding its network and passenger base as well. Furthermore, Saqib said that these aircraft would mainly be used on domestic and regional routes including Gulf and South East Asian Region.
