Re: PIA orders five new Boeing 777-300ER for $1.5 billion
These folks are a gift to the national exchequer from Benazir, who made thousands of political appointments to national organizations like PIA, Railways, State Life, to name a few. Though these appointments were cancelled by the subsequent PML-N government in 1997, you will be pleased to know that team Zardari not only restored all those appointees, but also gave them back-pay for the past 12 years!
Obviously PIA has gotten these new aircraft financed, which will no doubt throw the airline into further debt and troubles. Good luck to them.
