With a month-long bid deadline, the government aims to maintain a majority stake in PIA, retaining 49% of shares while offering the remaining 51% to potential investors.
This move signals a concerted effort to attract investment while ensuring continued administrative control over the airline’s operations.
As the privatisation journey progresses, reports indicate that the national airline will be awarded to the highest bidder.
