The person who should be resigning is the chief-engineer of PIA and those responsible for the technical defects in this crash be tried in court

gooner14 do you have some proof of these MANY techincal defects you speak of? It seems you have already got the information, cause and proof of the crash before the rest of the world and are already wanting to fire people. Maybe you could share this evidence and reasoning with the rest of us

Sin e you are the expert on all things PIA, why don't you justify the technical aspects of PIA and the pathetic state of affairs in PIA engineering. Secondly, the left engine was shut down for a. 'technical' reason.

I have to agree with AN - we have to wait for the final result / investigation report before you can name someone responsible for this crash.
The investigation team will have to find out whether the fault is on the side of the Aircraft or Engine Manufacturer or the Maintenance Team of PIA.

No sir, I did not claim to be an expert nor have any secret information as you did. Again you are making false statements. Now you must show me where I said I am the expert on PIA. Who told you the left engine was shutdown for a technical reason? I have not read the report or seen any data on this. Did you hear this at the aviation experts meeting you seem to regularly attend? The Onus is on you to prove/backup your statements regarding techincal defects, what they were and how you know of them (proof), or retract your statements till an official report and backup your gossip. Alternately you will easily get a job in Pakistani media as we all know how much of the truth they report.

The chairman Azam Saigol has been dying to resign for months now, every month he would ask Nawaz Sharif to let him go.

He was not happy as Chairman PIA. Being a rich industrialist based in Lahore, he was not interested in living in Karachi as chairman PIA.

He resignation has nothing to do with the crash.

And (so called) Govt. is struggling to find a replacement as no one is willing to take the job

LAHORE: The government is facing problems in finding a new chairman for the Pakistan International Airlines (PIA), with none of the persons contacted so far willing to accept the position under the existing circumstances.

The last chairman, Azam Saigol, resigned from the otherwise prestigious position on Dec 12, four days after the fatal crash of a PIA aircraft near Havelian.

“We are facing problems in finding a suitable candidate for the position... after the plane tragedy. No one the government has contacted so far is willing to accept the offer under the current circumstances. Media scrutinises him [PIA chairman] like no other person which is one of the reasons as well,” Privatisation Commission chairman Mohammad Zubair told Dawn on Sunday.

He said the job was such a difficult and challenging one that two PIA chairmen had resigned from the position over the past seven months.

In reply to a question about the government’s decision to split the national carrier into ‘core’ and ‘non-core’ business units, Mr Zubair said the process was in its final stages, but it would be completed after the appointment of a new chairman.

“The financial advisers of the Privatisation Commission held a meeting with the PIA management some three weeks ago regarding separation of the core and non-core business units... and worked out the modalities. The next meeting was scheduled to be held in January before the plan was to be submitted to the PIA board for approval, but now it will be re-scheduled after the appointment of a new chairman,” he said, adding that the role of the chairman was that of a strategic decision maker. So the final decision would be taken after taking him on board.

“During the process of separating the core and non-core business units, some employees may be reshuffled, but the government is not considering any plan for rightsizing in the PIA,” he said.

Of course PIA will struggle when its a310s are being sold for peanuts. Chairman is to blame for it.


A lot of good things happened under the adviser to PM on aviation. Under present chairman, we brought a330 which is resulting in millions of loses, instead of adding cheap b772 in the tender.
