The government has devised a strategy to prevent potential protests regarding the potential privatization of PIA. The Compulsory Service Act has been enforced on PIA with the cabinet’s approval, restricting employees from engaging in protests.

Privatization of PIA

In anticipation of potential protests over Pakistan International Airline‘s potential privatization, the Caretaker Government has implemented the Compulsory Service Act, approved by the Federal Cabinet.

Reports indicate that the Federal Cabinet approved the act through circulation, effectively prohibiting protests and strikes by Airline employees.

Sources reveal that the Airline union’s activities will also be prohibited as part of the government’s measure to avert potential protests by the union and employees.

Strict measures are expected against those who violate Pakistan International Airline’s Compulsory Service Act. It is noteworthy that Pakistan International Airlines has faced financial losses for several years, with PSO refusing fuel supply to PIA due to non-payment. Following the government’s payment, fuel supply for the planes has resumed.
