ISLAMABAD: Normal flight operations have resumed after the successful negotiations between staff of the Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) and management. Protest was prolonged by the employees that caused complications.
Earlier today, PIA employees boycotted all duties countrywide, to protest against the recent policy of management collecting federal excise duty on free/subsidised domestic tickets being issued to its employees and their family members.
According to sources, several flight operations were disrupted causing hardships to passengers.
All passengers on a PIA flight waiting to departure from Islamabad’s Benazir Bhutto International Airport were stranded for several hours due to the standoff.
