The national airline has been witnessing one of the worst financial and administrative crises of its own history. Around 250 flights were canceled between 14 and 22 October. But the irony is the aviation ministry and PIA administration are mysteriously silent and have no answers to the questions on the crisis.

SAMAA TV contacted the Secretary of Aviation for an interview to know the position of the Ministry of Aviation, but despite agreeing to the time and answering questions, the Secretary of aviation did not respond.

SAMAA TV asked the following questions: PIA has been linking its historic financial crisis with the country's situation but is it not administrative incompetence?

The previous government passed legislation on PIA restructuring, and an advertisement was also released but why is the caretaker government's focus on privatization and restructuring not among their priorities now?

What role is the Ministry of Aviation playing in the PSO-PIA dispute as two federal institutions came face to face and no role of the federal government is seen?

Why is there meaningful silence of the relevant ministry or PIA administration in such a situation of uncertainty? 71 flights of PIA were canceled on Sunday, so much uncertainty was not seen even during COVID-19. Is it right to blame all the problems on fuel?

There has been a lot of talk about reviving UK Europe routes, an audit team is coming at the end of this month and what are the preparations? Is the UK-Europe route going to be restored soon?
