Introduction

Birth of a Nation, Birth of an Airline
Air transport has probably never been more important to the development of a new nation than in the case of Pakistan. In June 1946, when Pakistan was still in the offing, Mr. Mohammad Ali Jinnah, the Founder of the upcoming nation, instructed Mr. M.A. Ispahani, a leading industrialist, to set up a national airline, on a priority basis. With his singular vision and foresight, Mr. Jinnah realized that with the formation of the two wings of Pakistan, separated by 1100 miles, a swift and efficient mode of transport was imperative.
Orient Airways Takes to the Skies
On 23rd October 1946, a new airline was born. Orient Airways, along with the help of BOAC aircraft which had been chartered by the Government of Pakistan, started relief operations and transportation of people between Delhi and Karachi, the two capitals.
A New National Flag Carrier for Pakistan
Orient Airways was a privately owned company, with limited capital and resources. It could not be expected to grow and expand independently. It was then that the Government of Pakistan decided to form a state-owned airline and invited Orient Airways to merge with it. The outcome of the merger was the birth of a new airline, through PIAC Ordinance 1955 on January 10, 1955.
Historic Firsts and Unbroken Records
In 1962, finding the upper winds forecast favorable, PIA set out to break the record for the fastest flight between London and Karachi.
Style, Glamour, and Charisma
Around this time, the airline saw a change in the top slot. Air vice Marshal, Asghar Khan took over the reins of PIA for a tenure of 3 years. A number of highpoints are attributed to this period. The most colourful, if not the most significant, occurrence for PIA was the

It is continuing to expand and has been intensely prosperous in the past 50 years due to the overall improvement in technology. The result has been a steady decline in costs and fares, which has stimulated traffic growth. This intensive traffic makes the expansion of economical development easier and it can be also considered as a crucial factor for the globalisation that is taking place in many other industries.…

We even have heard stories, epics, and histories depicting the desire to fly liberally in the open sky. This longing led number of people to try to fly with manmade feathers engraved within them, the result of which was nothing but failure. With invent of successful flight in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina by Wright Brothers', the beginning of the aviation industry was marked. But the development of the aviation industry was first stimulated when United States' participated in World War I. In the early years, the public did not embrace airplane travel as an option perceiving that it was too dangerous. In 1927, when Charles Lindbergh successfully completed a solo flight across the Atlantic Ocean, it created massive interest in flying with the general public. This was the instigation point when a variety of air transport holding companies began which included Aviation Corporation. With United States' entry into World War II, commercial fleets and pilots were sent to Europe to participate in the war effort. The war also helped to generate support for research and development of aircraft, which extended beyond the war to commercial aviation.History of Airline Industry in NepalThe first airline Nepal Airlines Corporation was formed in July 1958 by the Nepalese government and a flag carrier.

    The national carrier, PIA, will be privatised – reflecting the fact that, over the years, governments failed to control its decline. It has been losing Rs3.3 billion a month and the government’s hope is that the losses will be stemmed by handing over 26 percent of the shares and management control to a private entity. To make this a viable option, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has directed the PIA management to undertake a cleanup task so that buyers would step forward. It must be noted that airlines around the world are losing money right now because of the high international price of oil. On top of that PIA has additional issues like maintaining the highest ratio of employees to aircraft of any airline in the world. In this climate there may not be many buyers forthcoming unless they are provided all kinds of benefits and assurances. Previous administrations, like that of Pervez Musharraf, tried to sell off PIA and found there were no takers. Given the scandals that stemmed from past privatisation exercises, it is a good sign that the PM has stressed transparency and openness in the conduct of the process. This should be a priority and we hope the mechanism that is worked out will ensure this. The last thing we need is any allegations of wrongdoing or favouritism. Indeed from this point on the affairs of PIA need to be closely watched so that the path leading up to the selling of shares is not riddled with controversy or doubt. If the most likely purchasers emerge from the ruling party or their tycoon friends a disaster could be in the making. If somehow a monopoly occurs over air travel in the country, it would reek of political favouritism and patronage rather than doing what is in the best interests of consumers. The higher courts may eventually again be dragged in.…
