Rawalpindi: The accounts of Pakistan International Airlines were frozen by the Federal Board of Revenue at a time when a team from the European Union’s Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) was in Pakistan. Furthermore, Pakistan State Oil threatened to stop oil supply to the airline if outstanding dues were not settled by today (Thursday). The airline management, the PIA spokesman said, was in touch with the FBR, which had frozen 28 PIA accounts so far. “The management is hopeful that the issue will be resolved soon.” In 2020, EASA barred PIA from operating flights to Europe after a plane crashed in Karachi on May 22, 2020.
