The new management of Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has issued special instructions requiring all employees to disclose details of their close relatives and business connections within the airline to identify potential conflicts of interest.
Under the new directive, employees have been instructed to submit mandatory disclosure forms containing information about their parents, siblings and spouses working at the national airline.
The instructions also require employees to disclose their relationships with third-party and outsourced staff, as well as any connections with PIA’s business partners, suppliers and contractors.
Employees must further provide details of any business interests their relatives may have involving the airline.
According to PIA management, the exercise aims to identify potential conflicts of interest, improve transparency and strengthen internal accountability across the organisation.
The management has assured employees that all information provided through the disclosure forms will remain confidential, with access limited to authorised officials.
The directive also warns of strict disciplinary action against employees who submit false information, conceal relevant relationships or fail to complete the forms within the stipulated deadline.
PIA employees have been given November 10, 2026, as the final date for submitting the mandatory disclosure forms.
Earlier, Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) entered a new phase of fleet modernisation with the arrival of its first Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner at Islamabad International Airport.
The aircraft arrived from London on PIA flight PK-786, marking the first time a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner has been inducted into the fleet of a Pakistani airline.
PIA Chief Executive Officer Air Vice Marshal Amir Hayat, accompanied by senior officials and his team, welcomed the aircraft upon its arrival at the airport.
The wide-body aircraft has been acquired on lease from Norwegian airline Norse Atlantic Airways as part of PIA’s efforts to expand its international operations and improve passenger facilities.
The Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner features modern aviation technology, an in-flight entertainment system and a spacious cabin designed to provide passengers with a more comfortable travel experience.
A PIA spokesperson said the airline aims to bring its passenger services in line with international standards by improving onboard facilities and enhancing the overall travel experience.
The aircraft’s arrival follows an agreement signed between PIA and Norse Atlantic Airways in October to acquire two Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners under an Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance and Insurance (ACMI) arrangement, commonly known as a wet lease.
