CHAIRMAN'S REVIEW
Dear Shareholders,
    It is my privilege to present the Corporation's Annual Report for the financial year 1995.96.
I take this opportunity to update you on the state of the national airline, its performance during the
year as well as the future prospects and plans.
    The financial results are summarised below:
1995-96 1994-95
(Rupees in million)
Revenues 27,747 25,417
Costs and expenditure 26,473 24,198
Profit before Taxation 208 434
Provision for Taxation 143 141
Profit after Taxation 65 293
    Despite constraints, the airline maintained a steady expansion of its revenue base,
registering a growth of 9.17% in revenue amounting to Rs. 27,747 million for the year. Costs and
expenditure which amounted to Rs. 26,473 million recorded a higher increase of 9.40% owing to
worldwide surge in fuel prices which was not compensated by tariff increases during the year. Thus
profit before tax for the year was lower at Rs. 208 million.
    The year under review was not without its bout of stresses and strains emanating from the
impact of wage revisions, domestic competition, grounding of one of the freighter aircraft and
Government's Open Sky policy for cargo besides the fuel price increases. These adverse factors
exerted considerable pressure on the airline's cost structure on one hand and hampered attainment
of higher revenue growth on the other.
    To protect profitability, the management initiated various measures during the year for
revenue enhancement and cost control.
    It is a matter of satisfaction that the airline was able to absorb the diverse economic
pressures and has maintained the path of profitability and growth. It is against this background
that the results for the financial year 1995-96 should be examined and analysed.
    During most of the year, the airline operated with considerable cash constraints following
liquidation of certain old liabilities, advance tax deductions by Government, disbursement of wage
revision arrears etc. The cash problem, specially in Rupee funds, could not be mitigated due to
paucity of the rupee credit lines as a result of the State Bank restriction on Commercial Banks for
limiting monetary expansion.
    To foster further growth in both, traffic and revenue, the airline Js looking for new markets,
whereas capacity deployment on existing international routes is also being reviewed. The number
of flights to Kathmandu have recently been raised from two to four, while two additional flights
have been introduced to Saudi Arabia to take care of the traffic growth on this route. Beirut and
Yangon (Rangoon) have been added on PIA's network while service to Johannesburg may be
started in the near future upon availability of requisite approval from an-route point.
    Likewise, capacity on major domestic trunk routes has lately increased substantially, whereas
services to other smaller destinations are also being strengthened. Two new points, Dera Ghazi
Khan and Sehwan Sharif were added to PIA's domestic network in June 96. Earlier, in March 96,
PIA introduced Boeing flights to Moenjodaro, linking it with Karachi and Sukkur.
    To strengthen cargo operations, the airline is looking into the possibility of acquiring a
freighter aircraft on lease.
    Recently, after successful conclusion of bilaterals with USA, seven additional points have
become available to PIA for its operation into USA. Services to Chicago and Washington are on
the anvil. Bilateral agreement for operation to Australia has also been concluded while earlier,
substantial increase in both passenger and freight capacity was negotiated with U.K. From a long-
term perspective, these openings offer a considerable potential for growth.
    To harness the above growth, the airline is looking at its existing fleet and various options
for replacement/expansion of fleet are under evaluation.
    We are aware that the demands of the current severe competition calls for greater
imagination and vision. To promote growth in this highly competitive environment, attention is
increasingly being focussed on improving service, maintaining high standards of safety and
maintenance, while at the same time, becoming more cost effective and proficient. The airline is,
therefore, investing substantially in the customer services area and in augmenting the engineering
capability.
    While the economic pressures highlighted earlier still persist, the airline, is now better
equipped to face the vicissitudes and is poised to take on the challenges that lie ahead. With the
continued patronage of our valuable customers and the enhanced dedication of the employees,
I look forward to 1996-97 with renewed enthusiasm, determination and confidence.
May Allah bless us all in our efforts.
Yours sincerely,
(HASAN RAZA PASHA)
