The Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) Board of Directors has officially approved the airline’s financial results for 2024, marking a major milestone as the national carrier reported its first net profit in 21 years.
According to the approved financial statement, PIA recorded an operational profit of Rs 3.9 billion and a net profit of Rs 2.26 billion for the year 2024. This marks the airline’s first profitable year since 2003.
