KARACHi (Daily Dunya) – The federal government’s ambitious move to revive Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has suffered a major blow as management of the national flag career is returning premier service aircraft back to Sri Lanka.   Airbus-330 was acquired on lease for premier service of PIA. PIA has paid over $19 million to Sri Lankan authorities in terms of wet lease for this aircraft during span of six months.   Stats revealed every flying-hour of Airbus-330 costed PIA over $8 thousands.   According to details available, seat and load plan for London-bound flights did not work according to the plan. PIA’s spokesperson articulated that aircraft was acquired on market rate.   In August-2016, PIA had acquired three A-330s from Sri Lanka on wet lease in a bid to revive glorious past of the national flag career. The aircraft were to be used for the Islamabad-London  Premier Service .   PIA, a loss-generating entity, often comes under sheer criticism for its irrational expenditures and perpetual flight delays.
