    History
    • PIA was built up in 23 October 1946 as Orient Airways.

    • In June 1946, the nation's founder Muhammad Ali Jinnah realized the
    requirement for a banner transporter

    • Pakistan's administration set up the Pakistan International Airlines


    Corporation (PIA)
    Golden Time
    • PIA was one of the few things we could talk about with our heads held high.

    • In mid 1980s PIA helped United Arab Emirates (UAE) to set up their new airline
    Emirates.

    • PIA selected its new uniforms through an open competition. The winning entry
    was designed by Sir Hardy Amies, the designer of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II.
    How Things Went Wrong
    • Various Accidents.

    • Delay in flights

    • deterioration in service and quality

    • One of the reasons for the decline was the wrong choice of aircraft.
    Issues
    • Considering rupee devaluation over a time PIA foreign currency sale
    indicate reduction in revenues of PIA.

    • Cosmetic things like change of color/logo do no attract passenger rather


    added cost burden.

    • Posting/transfer/promotion is given on seniority and political basis rather


    on the performance of a person.
    Impact of Issues on PIA
    • PIA has a lot of 42 billion debts.

    • These issues create frustration among the passengers. They feel fear and
    life risk while travelling through PIA. The Airlines is at the brink of disaster.

    • With the decline in service and quality, PIA got trapped into endless
    scandals and losses, not just in dollar value but in goodwill and reputation.
    Engineering Management Analysis
    • Strong infrastructure so TQM is more effective

    • “Total Organizational” involvement will help PIA overcome their financial loss

    • Use of internet to interlink with passengers and inform them about any delays or
    issues.

    • Employees to be trained to talk politely with customers.

    • Technical knowledge must be improved.

    • Discard old fleet and include new aircrafts.


    Way Forward
    • PIA engineering department should be upgraded

    • Promotion should be given on performance basis rather than on seniority.

    • Higher tax (FED) be imposed and collected on tickets issued by international airlines for
    sectors beyond their home base.

    • The CEO and Board members should be appointed by a committee of acclaimed


    professionals.

    • The retirement age of cabin crew should be reduced to 40-45 years so that young, smart,
    educated and well-groomed faces can be the new faces of PIA services inside the cabin.
