      <title>Govt moves forward with PIA privatization, targeting sale to Qatar or Abu Dhabi</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330388598/govt-moves-forward-with-pia-privatization-targeting-sale-to-qatar-or-abu-dhabi</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The government has begun work on a new plan for the privatization of PIA (Pakistan International Airlines). PIA is set to be sold to either Qatar or Abu Dhabi under a government-to-government agreement. Applications for expressions of interest are being accepted until November 30.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The government is considering proposals to sell PIA to a foreign government.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Reports indicated that there is a plan to sell PIA under a government-to-government (G2G) agreement.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the wake of the cancellation of the Blue World Consortium’s bid, the government has developed a revised plan for the airline’s future.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Proposals are underway to include several pre-agreed conditions in the potential sale to either Qatar or Abu Dhabi.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Blue World Consortium had previously submitted a bid of 10 billion rupees to acquire shares in PIA, but this bid has since been annulled.&lt;/p&gt;
