Fuel crunch: PIA cancels over 500 flights in past 13 days

By IBNS
Oct 28, 2023..

Pakistan International Airlines has cancelled over 500 flights in the past 13 days as it faces its worst-ever crisis after the Pakistan State Oil cut fuel supply over unpaid dues, media reports said.


Since Oct 14, the airline has cancelled 528 flights, a PIA spokesperson told Dawn News.

He stressed that the airline has been making advance payments to PSO for fuel.

In the past three days, over 160 domestic and international flights could not take off, while only 84 departed to their destination after the availability of fuel. The aircraft that are operating are also carrying fewer passengers than the capacity, the newspaper reported.

PSO has refused to allow any credit line or relaxation to PIA, forcing the airline’s management to scale back the operations and only schedule flights for which it has fuel arrangements, the newspaper reported.

The airline, so far, has identified Canada, Turkiye, China, Malaysia and Saudi Arabia as priority destinations.

Talking to Dawn News, PIA’s Senior Staff Association General Secretary Safdar Anjum blamed the present management for failing to manage the crisis.
