Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar, the prime minister, gave the relevant authorities instructions on Tuesday to expedite the privatisation of Pakistan International Airlines (PIA), the country’s flag carrier. The prime minister placed emphasis on maintaining transparency in the privatisation process during a meeting with Air Marshal (retd) Farhat Hussain, his adviser on aviation. According to Prime Minister Kakar, the government’s top objective is to privatise state-owned businesses in order to prevent more financial losses for the national exchequer. He claimed that there was a lot of room for investment expansion in the nation’s aviation sector. To guarantee better services, the prime minister oversaw the outsourcing of airport operations as well. PM Kakar received a briefing on ministry affairs and the reform process from the Aviation Adviser.
