LAHORE - President Air League Lahore Ahmad Butt has stressed the PIA management to acquire contract of providing ground handling services to the airlines supposed to start their operation within next couple of months. While talking to The Nation Ahmad Butt said that Turkish and British airways were going to commence their operation from Pakistan after two months. Their managements have hired offices at different airports of Pakistan.  He was of the view that by these contracts PIA would be able to earn millions of US dollars since ground handling services were not a minor business. He said, “I have talked to MD PIA, Capt. Junaid Yunis and DMD for above said purpose and requested them to acquire the said contract”.
He claimed that this contract will help PIA to come out of crisis and employees will be happy. Butt said that in the past rulers only looted PIA and paid no heed towards its betterment. With provision of ground handling services not PIA employees would become safe from unemployment but credibility of the airline would also be restored.
