KARACHI: The accountability process within Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) continued on Monday after the airline took action against 38 of its employees in October 2020 over prolong absence, corruption, fake degrees, and other malpractices.
According to a list issued by the human resource department of the PIA, five employees were terminated from their service over fake degrees, six others were fired over prolong absence while one of them was dismissed over leaking information about the national flag carrier.
“Five employees have been terminated for corrupt practices while five others were fired over record tempering,” the PIA spokesman said. He further said that three employees were demoted over not following the orders.
Meanwhile, on the contrary, 11 PIA employees were given appreciation letters while five others were awarded cash money over their extraordinary performances. It is pertinent to mention here that it was not the first time that the national flag carrier has took action against its employees over irregularities. In September 2020, the management of PIA has taken strict action against 54 employees on various charges.
