Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has announced an administrative decision to transfer its Finance and Supply Chain departments from Karachi to Islamabad. This move involves relocating around 20 officers from the Finance Department, including the General Manager, alongside six officers from the Supply Chain Department, also including their General Manager. All transferred personnel are required to report to Islamabad by May 2.
In a significant development, officers at the General Manager level will receive a relocation allowance of up to Rs150,000, while those in Groups 7 and 8 will be granted a shifting allowance of Rs100,000. This financial support aims to facilitate the transition for the affected staff members.
Meanwhile, earlier this month, PIA successfully conducted a test flight of its Boeing 777 aircraft, registered as AP-BGZ, which had been grounded since May 2025 due to a shortage of essential spare parts. The aircraft’s return to service marks a notable enhancement in PIA’s long-haul fleet capabilities.
With the Boeing 777 back in operation, the airline is set to increase its capacity on international routes, offering greater scheduling flexibility and accommodating rising passenger demand. Notably, PIA resumed its London flights on March 29, 2026, after a six-year hiatus, signaling a broader effort to expand and modernize its fleet and services.
