Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) is preparing to recruit new flight attendants after a prolonged hiring gap. The move comes as the airline plans to expand its aircraft fleet.
According to reports, PIA management has decided to hire young Cabin Crew members before acquiring additional aircraft. The recruitment process is expected to be completed before the planned fleet expansion.
PIA Prepares for Fleet Expansion
The airline’s new management is reportedly working quickly on plans to increase the number of aircraft. The expansion is expected to support wider operations and improve PIA’s route network.
Hiring additional staff will form an important part of these preparations. Reports indicate that PIA plans to recruit both flight attendants and pilots.
The new Cabin Crew will help meet staffing requirements as more aircraft enter service. Further details about eligibility, application procedures, and recruitment schedules are expected through official channels.
PIA Enters New Phase After Privatization
The recruitment plans come as PIA enters a new phase following privatization. The airline has faced years of financial difficulties, shrinking operations, and declining passenger confidence.
PIA was once regarded as one of Asia’s prominent airlines. However, mounting financial losses created serious challenges for the national carrier.
A consortium led by Arif Habib Corporation has taken management control following the first phase of privatization.
According to the provided information, the consortium paid Rs10 billion to the government during the first phase. It also injected Rs80 billion in fresh capital into the airline.
The investment is aimed at improving PIA’s financial position and modernizing its operations. Plans also include fleet expansion and stronger domestic and international networks.
New Leadership Expected at PIA
Former Ethiopian Airlines chief Tewolde GebreMariam has reportedly been selected as PIA’s new chief executive officer.
A senior PIA official reportedly confirmed that the decision has been finalized. However, a formal announcement is expected after the required security clearances are completed.
The airline’s revival will require improvements across several areas. These include reliability, customer service, fleet modernization, route planning, and financial performance.
Recruiting pilots and Cabin Crew could therefore become an important part of PIA’s wider expansion strategy.
