ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan International Airlines has decided to relocate its Finance and Supply Chain departments to Islamabad as part of an administrative restructuring.
In the initial phase, around 20 officers from the Finance Department, including the General Manager, have been transferred from Karachi. Additionally, six officers from the Supply Chain Department, also including the General Manager, are being moved to Islamabad. All affected personnel have been directed to report to their new postings by May 2.
Moreover, the airline has approved relocation allowances to facilitate the transition. General Manager-level officers will receive up to Rs150,000, while employees in Groups 7 and 8 will be granted Rs100,000 as shifting support. Officials said the move aims to centralise operations and improve coordination within key administrative functions.
Meanwhile, the development comes as PIA continues efforts to strengthen its operational capacity. Earlier this month, the airline successfully conducted a test flight of its grounded Boeing 777, registered as AP-BGZ, which had remained out of service since May 2025 due to a shortage of essential spare parts.
Following the successful test, the aircraft is expected to rejoin the fleet, thereby boosting long-haul operations and improving scheduling flexibility. In addition, the airline has recently resumed flights to London after a six-year suspension, marking a significant step toward restoring international connectivity.
Overall, officials believe that administrative restructuring alongside fleet expansion will enhance efficiency and help meet growing passenger demand.
