PESHAWAR -UNS: With the Government of Pakistan moving forward with plans to privatize Pakistan International Airlines (PIA), Salim Saifullah Khan, Ex-federal minister and Honorary Consul General of Turkey for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has advocated for the involvement of Turkey in this process.
In a statement issued here on Friday, Salim Saifullah Khan said that Turkish Airline was a successful story and precedent for other countries to operate their airlines, saying that the successful operation capabilities of the Turkish Airlines could manage the national flag carrier effectively.
Highlighting Turkey as a brother country to Pakistan, he emphasized the successful operation capabilities of Turkish Airlines, suggesting that it could effectively manage PIA.
The proposal underscores the deep-rooted and amicable relations between Pakistan and Turkey. Leveraging this bond, Salim Saifullah Khan believes that entrusting PIA to Turkey would not only ensure its efficient management but also strengthen bilateral ties between the two nations.
The potential privatization of PIA represents a significant step in reforming and revitalizing Pakistan’s aviation sector. Salim Saifullah Khan’s proposal adds a new dimension to this process, suggesting a collaborative approach with Turkey, a trusted partner and ally.
