Karachi: AKD Group ne apni company AKD Group Holdings (Private) Limited ke zariye Arif Habib Corporation Limited (AHCL) ke lead kiye gaye consortium join kar liya hai jo Pakistan International Airlines Corporation Limited (PIACL) ke privatisation process me hissa le raha hai.

Arif Habib Limited ke mutabiq, AKD Group — jo venture capital, real estate development, construction, oil & gas, aur technology ke fields me mazboot position rakhta hai — consortium ko aur bhi strong aur diversified banata hai.
Ab consortium ke members me shamil hain:
Arif Habib Corporation Limited (AHCL), Fatima Fertilizer Company Limited, City School (Pvt.) Limited, Lake City Holdings (Pvt.) Limited, aur AKD Group Holdings (Pvt.) Limited.
Company ke mutabiq, “Consortium actively Privatisation Commission aur doosray stakeholders ke sath due diligence process ko complete karne me masroof hai.”
Hukoomat ne PIA ke 51 se 100 percent tak stake bechne ke liye April me dobara Expression of Interest (EOI) call kiya tha, taake debt-ridden national airline ko privatise karke IMF program ke tahat loss-making SOEs ko reform kiya ja sake.
Pichlay saal PIA ki pehli privatization koshish naakaam rahi thi jab ek hi offer mili thi jo $300 million ke asking price se kaafi kam thi.
