CHAIRMAN'S BRIEF
Dear Shareholders,
I am pleased to present the Annual Report for 1994-95. I would like to take this opportunity to review the financial
performance for the year and to apprise you on the future plans and prospects of your airline.
The financial results are briefly set out below:
1994-95   1993-95
 (Rupees in million)
Revenues 25,417 23,839
Costs and expenditure 24,198 23,024
Operating profit 1,219 815
Profit before Taxation 434 258
Provision for Taxation 141 118
Profit after Taxation 293 140
As per the audited accounts, the national airline has earned an operating profit of Rs. 1,219 million as compared to a
profit of Rs. 815 million earned in the year ended 30 June 1994, thus showing an increase of 50 percent.
After charging financial costs, providing for doubtful debts etc., profit for the year amounted to Rs. 321 million compared
to Rs. 258 million of last year, an increase of 24.4 percent. Profit before taxation is Rs. 434 million as compared to Rs. 258
million last year. The revenue has increased by 6.6 percent and expenditure by 5.1 percent.
The cash position however remained under pressure due purchase of one used A-300-B4 aircraft and B-747-200 simulator
from own resources besides debt service repayments peaking in 1994-95.
The airline recorded a seat factor of 66% in 199495 and has expanded its network in Central Asian countries and
Europe and for the first time, operated Haj flights from all provincial capitals besides Multan, Sukkur and the Federal capital.
We are now embarking on fleet modernization plan through the replacement by ageing B-747-200. In this respect, the
Government had during the year waived off import duties levied on aircraft/spares, allowed domestic fares to increase and set
aside an amount of Rs. 1,000 million in the National Budget for equity induction.
The Employees-Management relations remained cordial throughout the year and wage negotiations were successfully
concluded with CBA and other Associations.
I would like to express my appreciation for the sincere efforts made by all in this direction. I also wish to thank both the
employees as well as the Managing Director and his management team for their dedicated skill, team work and well-timed actions
to meet the challenges in achieving profitability, despite adverse circumstances.
May Allah bless us all in our efforts.
Yours sincerely,
(SARDAR NOOR ILAHI LEGHARI)
CHAIRMAN
PERFORMANCE REVIEW
The airline was faced with yet another challenging year due to severe inflationary conditions and changing aviation
scenario. The positive performance during the year reflects the resolve of the management and employees to steer the
airline successfully through a difficult period. The airline is exploring all avenues to further improve operating efficiency
and enhance the level of profitability in the future.
The activities of some key departments during the year are detailed below:
MARKETING
During the year, Marketing Department was confronted with stiff competition both on International and Domestic
routes. Despite the situation in Karachi and various marketing constraints like the plague in India, introduction of new
competitors in the Gulf Market, the overall increase of revenue by 6.62% is commendable.
In order to off-set the impact of mounting competition the Department revamped its marketing strategy and made the
following changes in PAK-NYC and PAK-UK flights:
— Daily B-747 flights with single stop enroute were provided on the PAK-NYC route. More flights from up-country to
NYC have been provided and Frankfurt, Paris, Amsterdam are all connected with Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad.
— 8/weekly B-747 flights to UK out of which 4/weekly KHI-LON non-stop flights have been made available with
2/weekly LHE-LON connections.
In consonance with the Govt of Pakistan's policy of providing an airlink to Myanmar, operations to Yangon have
been planned. Additionally, the following new routes have also been planned for the not too distant future:
1. Pasni-Sharjah v.v. with one weekly B-737.
2. Islamabad-Bishkek-Almatay v.v. with one weekly B-737.
3. Islamabad-Urumqi v.v.
AIRPORT SERVICES/FLIGHT SERVICES
The airline continued its concerted efforts to provide an improved level of ground services. Haj flights were introduced
for the first time from Multan and Sukkur, thus offering 7 stations from where Pakistanis are proceeding for Haj. This is a
record amongst the Muslim countries of the world. The movement of Hajis from these areas was facilitated by complete
Check-in, Customs and Immigration control at their home station. Transit System DEPAKI and documentation procedures
were developed to meet the Government requirement in Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. The system has worked well.
PIA joined the Common User/Terminal Equipment (CUTE) System of Departure Control at London Heathrow. The
experience will be beneficial for similar systems expected at other large airports in the future.
Quality of in-flight service has so far been a key factor in the airline's success and image. This is being further
improved to enhance PlA's profile. For this purpose, Attitude Development Refresher Courses are held at PIA Training
Centre to reemphasise the finer points of service. A comprehensive programme is also being launched to improve the
quality of meals, crockery, cutlery and inflight entertainment.
ENGINEERING AND MAINTENANCE
Engineering and Maintenance Department has kept a continuous vigil on Airworthiness of PIA Fleet through the
periodic inspection of Aircraft and System; incorporation of evaluated modifications on Aircraft and its Equipment.
Departures from design criteria were identified and corrective measures taken to meet the Airworthiness requirements, thus
ensuring flight safety. Flight regularity was also ensured through timely and smooth maintenance support. Engineering
related exports are being planned.
CORPORATE PLANNING DEPARTMENT
During the year, agreement for exercising purchase option on one used A-300-B4 aircraft from Air France was
successfully concluded and the lease was converted into outright purchase. Also, one used B747-200 simulator has been
acquired and commissioned in December 1994 which has enabled PIA to train B747-200 crew at its own facility,
thereby saving a substantial amount of foreign exchange. Economic feasibility for the acquisition of used simulator for
A310-300, B737-300 and F-27 aircraft is currently under study.
INFORMATION SYSTEM
The process of expansion of the Reservation System Network continued during the year. An online system (FREPAK},
connecting all the major airports and operational departments, has been installed to enable effective monitoring and to
improve flight regularity.
Automation at airports has been extended to Sukkur, where computerised check-in system is now installed, which will
improve operational efficiency and enhance convenience to the passengers.
TRAINING
The PIA Training Centre at Karachi, during the year under review, conducted 938 training courses. A number of new
courses such as "Tourist Guide", "Leadership'', "Customer Service", "Total Quality Management" and IIISO-9000" were
introduced. A new training facility for passenger service training was also set up. This facility is in the shape of a mini
airport with check-in counters, waiting-lounges, weighing machines and other similar equipment.
The training centre has also opened training facility to Non-PIA trainees, which is a big step towards national skill
development and a big step in preparing citizens for aviation-related jobs. The training centre continues to receive
trainees from Syria, Nepal, Bangladesh and a number of African Airlines.
SPORTS
The airline has been taking active interest in promoting sports as a national service, and has over the years given
solid and substantial support to sportsmen. PIA players have been winning almost all national events in squash, cricket,
football and hockey year after year, and its share in the formation of national teams for competition in Olympic and other
international events is substantial. In football, polo, chess and bridge too, PIA players have made their mark in
international contests.
PlA's Jansher Khan has won all the international ranking squash tournaments throughout the world in 1994/1995
including the prestigious World Open and British Open.
