An internal audit report of the state-owned Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has revealed that the airline’s pilots are overpaid and spend on luxurious hotels despite having low productivity.

According to a report published by a local media outlet, overpaying pilots and luxurious spending by the pilots causes billions of rupees in losses to the national flag carrier and the government.

The internal audit report by PIA and Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), pointed out lack of productivity among PIA pilots. The report points out that despite the airline’s pilots being highly paid, 49 to 81 per cent of the pilots were not completing their flying hours.

The internal audit also points out extravagant expenditure on hotels by the airlines pilots and cabin crew members during travel within and outside the country.

As a case in hand, PIA pilots and crew have been reported to book a five star hotel in Karachi, despite the airline owning a 300 room hotel in the city.

Moreover, during travel outside Pakistan the PIA crew has been reported to prefer expensive hotels for their stay over budgeted ones. The report adds that major expenditure can be saved if pilots and crew members opt to use in house facilities or choose budgeted hotels while traveling outside Pakistan.

According to the report, stays in expensive hotels outside Pakistan has caused the national flag carrier a loss of Rs408 million.

Seems like a lot of work is being done in background towards reforms in every institution, the first step of which is identifying the problem(s), then device the solution and last step is implement the solution and wait for results to make further improvements.

I have no issues for pilots staying at good 5 star hotels when out of station, because a good night sleep and being well rested is crucial and the work demands it as 100s of lives are at stake. But in return the pilots also have to follow discipline guidelines and be productive. Salaries can be slashed as the entire airline industry is suffering and right now pilots are dime a dozen, we can always hire non Pakistani pilots who would be more than grateful to get a job if these hudd harams dont work properly

I had travelled with many airlines but never saw any smile on PIA Pilot. They always have sense superiority & very rude & ignorant.
They should all be sacked

You can also get a good night sleep in a budget hotel, then why 5 star hotel?

also the pilot who cause Karachi crash landing wasn’t a proper pilot either because no properly trained pilot in sane mind will try to touch down, scrape the engines on runway and then TAKES OFF again for another try.
These harami fake pilots are a risk to innocent lives no matter how much Sleep and rest one can provide them.
