TV Interview on Pakistan International Airlines Privatization

Press/Media

Description

Dr Rana had the opportunity to share his perspective during a television discussion on Pakistan’s privatisation landscape, with particular focus on Pakistan International Airlines.

His view remains that privatisation is less about headlines and more about disciplined execution. The restructuring of legacy liabilities, the creation of a workable entity, and the participation of credible domestic investors are all meaningful steps in the right direction.

The real measure of success, however, will lie in operational governance, long-term planning, and accountability, ensuring that national assets transition from recurring losses to sustainable value creation. A thoughtful reform process, if followed through with consistency, can genuinely ease the fiscal burden while strengthening institutional performance.
