00:00 The slogan of the national airline was "Bakamal Log, Lajawab Service"
00:06 Now you can see it with a different perspective
00:11 Now this institution has been destroyed
00:15 There was a time when the other airlines were being trained
00:20 The maintenance of the aircraft was very good
00:23 Now the number of employees is very high
00:26 And the aircraft in working condition is very less
00:29 Now there is a new report of unpaid work
00:32 According to which the purchase of jet fuel has been increased by 22 billion rupees
00:38 According to the audit report, the ground work of the national airline was 38 billion
00:42 The delay in flights was 19 billion
00:44 While the planned flight cost 5 billion
00:47 On the other hand, the plan to outsource the Islamabad airport for 15 years has been prepared
00:52 According to the agency, the third party will pay an advance of 10 crore dollars
00:56 The amount will be deducted on the advance given on any contravention
00:59 The agreement will be approved
01:01 The third party will be allowed to make a shopping mall and a brand shop at the airport
01:05 And the PIA and the civil aviation unions are protesting on this issue
01:12 Let's talk about all this
01:15 Mohammad Salahuddin is with us
01:17 Mohammad Salahuddin, what is the reason for the increase in the purchase of jet fuel by more than 22 billion?
01:25 The audit report has revealed the inconsistencies
01:33 There are objections about the purchase of jet fuel
01:37 The audit report says that it has not been tendered
01:42 While the PIA always buys fuel from the POSO
01:46 The audit report revealed this
01:50 The PIA says that the objections are being removed according to the audit report
01:59 But this is not the only jet fuel
02:02 The flights have been cancelled and the loss of billions of rupees has been reported
02:07 The flights have been delayed
02:09 The audit report has revealed the loss of billions of rupees
02:15 The same is the case with various agencies
02:20 The expenses are increasing and the payments are not being made
02:25 The PSO has also not been paid the billions of rupees that the PIA has promised
02:30 There are many issues with the PIA
02:34 The PIA has been approved by the cabinet
02:39 The PIA 1 and 2 are also being prepared
02:45 There are many issues with the PIA
02:51 The PIA said that the audit report reveals many things
02:58 But the government issues are also being removed
03:04 The audit report of 2022 and 2023 has been published
03:09 The report says that the jet fuel purchase has been delayed
03:16 The flights are delayed and the passengers are transferred to hotels
03:21 The expenses are increasing
03:24 This is how the audit report has been revealed
03:29 What can be done about this?
03:34 You are protesting against the PIA union
03:39 But are there any benefits or losses?
03:44 The PIA union is protesting against the PIA
03:56 The PIA union has said that if the PIA is not fulfilled
04:12 Then they can do anything
04:16 They can stop the flight operations
04:21 The PIA union has said that the PIA is not being paid
04:26 The PIA has been removed
04:30 Many things have been outsourced
04:33 The airport has been outsourced
04:39 Islamabad International Airport, Allama Iqbal International Airport
04:43 Karachi Jinnah International Airport
04:46 The tender for the Islamabad airport has been issued
04:53 The condition is that the airport will be outsourced for 15 years
04:58 The third party will deposit 10 crore dollars
05:05 If the contract is not fulfilled, the advance will be taken
05:09 But the outsourcing is not being done in Pakistan
05:14 The PIA is a party over there
05:33 Are you concerned about this?
05:43 The PIA is the biggest stakeholder in the airport
05:53 We want a good management
06:04 We want the airport to be operated in a modern way
06:07 The same modern amenities should be available in Islamabad
06:13 The business will also be affected
06:29 The international flights are connected to domestic flights
06:44 The airport is a mall, there are cinemas, outlets, duty free shops, etc.
07:01 The PIA has been made a theme park
07:14 The design of the Islamabad International Airport is similar to that of the Changi Airport
07:24 The airport should be a top notch
07:39 The audit report is not a small amount, how do we differentiate between corruption and indecency?
07:55 When a report is coming out, people think it is corruption
08:08 The audit comes and tries to find out if the report is correct, if the approval has been taken properly, if the paperwork has been completed, if the procedures have been followed properly, if all the paper trails have been set up
08:29 When things are changing fast, you are doing a lot of things to stop the operation
08:41 The things you pointed out are indecency
08:54 The audit is conducted annually, the management points out the irregularities and then the audit is closed
09:11 We have heard that the cost cutting has been increased in the salaries of pilots
09:31 How many operational aircraft do we have?
09:46 We have 24 aircraft in the air, the rest are in maintenance or long grounding
10:01 The PIA is important for any institution, because you have to keep the bottom line green
10:21 You have to realize that there is a shortage of pilots in Pakistan
10:36 The pilot registration has started again after covid, and there is a boost in the business, business is doing better than 2019
10:56 When you want to expand your operation, you need pilots and crew
11:06 If you want to retain your pilots, you have to bring their salary to the level where they will not leave you
11:16 The PIA has invested a lot on pilots, they spend millions on training
11:31 You have to make a pilot from the organization standpoint, and when it is ready, you can give it to another airline
11:46 Thank you very much, Abdullah Hafeez, but we also have to look at the economy of our country
11:51 We have to look at the GDP of other countries, their purchasing power, their per capita income index, etc.
