KARACHI (Staff Report) – The Joint Action Committee of Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has announced the closure of all booking offices and training centers of the airline across the country till February 2.
Demonstrators staged a protest on Tuesday in several cities, including Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad, with all the booking offices completely shut down.
