PIA facing severe financial crisis has not paid travel allowance to cockpit and cabin crew since past eight months.

The crew also has not received salary for the month of November, so far.

On international flights, pilots get allowance of six dollars per hour. Other crew members get allowance of three to four dollars per hour on these flights.

According to PIA spokesperson, payment of allowances has been stopped due to financial problems faced by the airline.

Timely payment of salaries is being ensured, said the spokesperson.

According to news sources:

PIA has formed a seven-member committee to resolve the issue of cabin crew's allowances unpaid for eight months. The committee is headed by Chief PIA Precision Engineering Complex (PEC) Air Vice Marshal Soban Nazir Syed. The committee will also scrutinize cabin crew's duty hours on international flights.

PIA will clear payment of allowances according to recommendations made by the committee.
