PIA announces temporary salary cuts for employees
Pakistan International Airlines (PIA), like its global peers, is facing severe crisis due to the economic difficulty caused by coronavirus.
The COVID-19 pandemic is having an enormous impact on the aviation industry, affecting passenger traffic, air cargo demand, airport workforce and incoming revenues.
In order to cope with the pandemic that has devastated air travel demand, PIA management has taken some difficult decisions in order to protect maximum number of jobs and to keep the company afloat.
Therefore, the PIA management has decided that higher cadres of the national airline must temporarily have to bear while the lower pay scale and daily wage employees are left to survive within the meager salaries.

It is worth mentioning here that PIA has not laid off any employee on humanitarian grounds like other global airlines, which was otherwise an easy choice.
However, it is emphasized by the PIA management that these deductions are not permanent rather are subject to the revenue earning and financial state of the company amid COVID-19 pandemic.
