As reported in some not so credible news sites, this indus airlines is owned by Faryal Talpur.
If true, then the demise of PIA will make perfect sense. Another clever business move by Zardari at the expense of a national asset

That's more like a rumor. PIA comes under defence ministry and Kyani will allow that. Yeah right! what a way to defame already defamed Zardari.
Re: PIA to be replaced by Indus Airlines
I can easily say that no one hate Zardari more than me on this forum.. but this news is pure BS and nothing more, the news first of all have no credible source and in its essence Zardari would be most stupid person to do replace PIA with some Indus Airlines, yes possibility is that Faryal Talpor may have gotten the license for one more Airline and it is also possible that the Airline have more destinies compared to other private airlines in Pakistan...but not possible that Zardari is all set to replace it... for one simple reason, what if some other govt comes into power tomorrow, will they not revoke such decision or nationalize Indus Airline or simply resume PIA and cancel the licenses of Indus Airline???
Re: PIA to be replaced by Indus Airlines
And I don't think any politician can invest in Pakistan.
I knew a lot about a project 'New City' of Islamabad.
People who invested in this project are facing since last 16 years.
Some one dead and others are too much old , trying in courts and other institutions, could not get their land yet back.
Political victimization is very common.
Re: PIA to be replaced by Indus Airlines
yes it is still a rumor. But it will be a business move in the sense that PIA is much maligned cause of lack of support from government and a decent enough plan to overcome the deficit. People will automatically revert to Indus if it is launched and PIA will suffer further. No replacement for PIA but PIA will be phased out gradually
Lets see how things unfold in coming days.
Re: PIA to be replaced by Indus Airlines
KARACHI: There is not a single day without any news about Pakistan International Airline, but not for any good reason rather all about its ailing financial health, poor performance, flights delay, emergency landings and etc. But there are some latest and stunning revelations that the ailing national flag carrier is being pushed to dead-end deliberately just to pave the way for a new private airline reportedly owned by a close relative of the President House’s inhabitant.
Though the state-owned airline’s financial health was not good before the incumbent dispensation, but during the tenure of this government it moved from bad to worst despite the repeated and consistent calls from all the quarter for restructuring and overhauling of the airline to restore its past glory.
As the airline is fast nearing toward collapse, there are startling reports that a private airline reportedly owned by a close relative of holder of top constitutional office of the country is being launched, which will replace the national flag carrier.
Reliable sources in the airline industry told The News Tribe that the national flag carrier was being deliberately pushed toward collapse so that the way could be paved for the new airline.
They claimed the new airline, Indus Air, is owned by Faryal Talpur MNA, sister of President Asif Ali Zardari, They further said that the news of PIA planes’ crash landings, technical faults and flights delays were being propagated purposefully on daily basis and despite repeated call no step had been taken for complete overhaul of the airline so that the PIA could be declared bankrupt and unfeasible entity. Despite repeated attempts the News Tribe cold not reached out to Faryal Talpur for her version about the issue.
The Indus Air reportedly owned by Mrs Faryal Talpur is a company registered in Bahamas and will become operative very soon, they sources confided to The News Tribe.
The sources said that the airline will be run by former Managing Director PIA Ijaz Haroon, who was removed as MD PIA after prolong strike and protest by PIA employees and pilots.
The website of the Indus Air says that the airline will be launched soon. According to the site, which displays the routes of the airline through map, the airline will run its flights to almost all domestic stations in Pakistan to which the PIA currently operates flights. The airline will operative flight on almost all domestic routes, besides major international routes.
Interesting, the domestic routes of the airline include those on which no private airline currently runs flight and as per PIA management, these routes are financially unviable such as flight from Peshawar to Chitral and Rawalpindi to Gilgit and Skardu.
According to an earlier news report carried out by The News Tribe, Pakistan International Airline (PIA) Managing Director Nadeem Yousufzai had said that the management of the airline was trying to overcome $130 million losses currently the airline was faced with.

Re: PIA to be replaced by Indus Airlines
It is a long ,very long exercise of adventures,corruption,ineligibility,greed and foolishness started from the time of illness of Qauid e Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah and foolish adventure of Kashmir and we saw the first hike of it in murder of Liaqat Ali Khan. It is continuous story and its last phase was assassination of Shaheed Benazir Bhutto. We have lost our last leader and now we are looking new plays of these .........
Looking closely this all dirt I am really sad, I can do nothing for my Pakistan. Millions like me wishing to do something for Pakistan but they never got a chance. All who tried individually although they should be some satisfied with their efforts but we all could not do anything for our nation .
Pakistanis are very intelligent , very efficient people but they never got a chance ,chance to prove their ability, becoming a proud nation .
They were put into troubles just for greed of power and greed of money .
Everything is painful,everything is hurting .
Sad story .

With all due respect to your point of view, I request moderators to decide whether this post and racial language used therein is in accordance with forum's rules and policy.
So jiyalas = all sindhis? :D
If this were to be switched around to abusing pml-n, mqm, imran khan, then all of your lot with anwer pasha as spokesman would be lamenting that there is no freedom on this forum as takht-e-lahore won't allow it.
Re: PIA to be replaced by Indus Airlines
it breaks my heart to see wht they have done to PIA!! ... it used to be best airline in Asia back in 1960's ...
chor khaa gaye seb kuch!! ....
Re: PIA to be replaced by Indus Airlines
and shame on everyone who is dissing sindhis ... !!! ... how dare u guys say tht ppl are jahal in interior sindh!
and as far as i know there are more punjabis in PIA thn any other ethnic group! ... so stop this racism!
Re: PIA to be replaced by Indus Airlines
PPP does stuff jiyalas into state institutions when they are in power, so there is a valid point there. Also, interior of sindh is heavily feudalized like southern punjab, so it makes sense that not a whole lot of people get educated or trained there as who will be the slaves for the feudals?
Re: PIA to be replaced by Indus Airlines
You are a pure racist, nothing more, nothing less. You hate Sindhis why?
The racism is in your head....I also said Jiyalas and thank God not all sindhis are jiyalas.
