Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has achieved a significant milestone by posting a net profit of Rs2.26 billion for the fiscal year 2024, marking its first profit since 2003.

PIA’s board of directors approved the financial results on Tuesday, April 8, 2025. PIA’s spokesperson stated that, the report highlights an operational profit of Rs 3.9 billion and an impressive operating margin of 12%, which positions the airline alongside some of the world’s leading carriers.

Bloomberg reports that PIA’s turnaround is a stark shift from its troubled past, marked by impounded planes, cancelled flights, and near-defaults. Last year’s failed sale halted when bids fell below the $306 million floor, prompting the government to offload 75% of PIA’s debt to public books. By February, Privatisation Secretary Usman Bajwa told Bloomberg all debt was cleared, reigniting interest from prior bidders. Fresh bids are due later this month.

Past operational gains were overshadowed by heavy debt servicing. With streamlined operations and a debt-free status, PIA has achieved profitability, positioning itself for a smoother sale. After two decades, the airline’s revival offers hope for its future both on the ground and in the market.
