A number of leading Chinese firms have shown interest in investing in Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) and airport facilities in a bid to improve passenger services and increase the number of flights.
“Pakistan needs some improvement in its transportation facilities,” said Qiao Song, Managing Director of Sibol China Limited, a leading Chinese company.
“The reservation system along with airport facilities and the technical know-how to fly to more destinations also need some improvement,” he said.
He is visiting the country to look for prospects of a joint venture between PIA and Chinese firms.
He said Pakistan was situated in a very important geographical area and PIA could take full advantage of this geographical location to get connected to the world.
Qiao said PIA could also be linked to about 10 cities of China and these flights could go further to other destinations.
“Ticketing and reservation system of PIA needs to be improved so that it can be accessed from anywhere in the world, especially for booking and checking flight status.” He remarked.
