Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) employees who took retirement under a voluntary separation scheme (VSS) have run into trouble as the airline’s management has failed to clear their dues so far.
The Airlines (PIA) introduced a voluntary separation scheme (VSS) for its employees last year.
A PIA captain, Adnan, approached 24NewsHD TV for help in getting his outstanding dues cleared.
According to Adnan, he retired under the VSS in December and the management assured him of clearing his dues by January 31.
Adnan, who served the national airline for 18 years, said he could not avail medical facilities after December 31 and benevolent fund.
A few days ago, a report cited a PIA spokesperson as saying that the airline started clearing dues of former employees.
A total of 2,000 employees are the beneficiary of this scheme for which the finance ministry allocated Rs9.6 billion.
