PIA makes swift changes to age, experience requirement for COO

KARACHI:
The age requirement for Pakistan International Airlines’ (PIA) new Chief Operating Officer (COO) was changed in a span of two days after an advertisement was published in a newspaper.

The 57-year age requirement as per the national carrier's policy was done away with, in the new advertisement that was published two days after the initial advertisement.

The minimum management experience was changed from 20 years in the first advertisement to 15 years in the following advertisement.

The second advertisement only listed aviation experience as a requirement for the position, although the initial advertisement had listed experience in a large organisation's senior managerial marketing and sales role as a mandatory requirement for the job.
