Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz plans to acquire and rebrand PIA as "Air Punjab" for flights.

Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz has proposed acquiring Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) and rebranding it as "Air Punjab," aiming to establish a new airline for international flights. Her father, Nawaz Sharif, supports the idea, citing the airline's decline under previous administrations. Meanwhile, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has shown interest in purchasing PIA with a bid exceeding Rs10 billion, as Pakistan seeks to sell a 51-100% stake to raise funds and reform state enterprises.
