PIA fires chief operations officer Zia Qureshi

KARACHI – Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has removed Zia Qadir Qureshi as chief operations officer (COO) after terminating his contract with the national flag-carrier.

The termination letter of the former PIA COO details that Qureshi was terminated after a bi-annual performance review of his tenure indicated that he had failed to perform his duties to the required standard.

According to the PIA, Qureshi did not attend the meeting called for evaluating his performance despite two pleas from the airline’s management – once because of ill health, and on another occasion, on which he failed to provide a reason for his absence.

Qureshi’s replacement is yet to be named.
