IT emerged in the Supreme Court hearing that PIA’s aircraft-to-employee ratio is 1:570.

It is interesting to note that Lufthansa has a ratio of 1:127 and Singapore Airlines, which took to the air with PIA’s help in the glory days of the legendary Air Marshal Nur Khan, has a ratio of 1:140. Industry experts know that the high number of employees directly affects an airline’s operating profit.
