Malik promised to introduce new discounts on passenger fares and other expenditures.
“We want to enhance the cooperation and coordination with the business community and the community should come forward and play their due role in helping PIA for making it more efficient and strong.”
Flight operations for Iraq pilgrims
The flights for pilgrims traveling to Iraq were halted due to the coronavirus flight ban.

PIA is going through huge challenges on financial and technological fronts and with the support of the business community and exporters it will revive its past glory and come out from all these facing challenges, the airline chief added.
