ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court on Sunday temporarily barred Pakistan International Airline (PIA) from using the logo of Markhor on its planes instead of national flag.

When Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Mian Saqib Nisar inquired what was replacing the Pakistani flag on the planes’ tails, PIA Managing Director Musharraf Rasool Cyan replied that the new logo will be of the country’s national animal: Markhor.

In response to the chief justice’s question pertaining to cost of said endeavor, the MD stated that it would cost Rs2.7 million per plane to change the logo. However, Justice Nisar observed that the cost for each plane would be Rs3.4 million and sought a report detailing tender and contractor information.

During court proceedings, the chief justice asked Cyan what his niece was doing in the national carrier. However, the PIA MD denied having any family member working in PIA.

PIA Markhor

PIA introduced a new livery with its logo and design to include a painting of the Markhor, the national animal which inhabits the mountainous regions of the country.

The Markhor was to be visible on the aircraft tail, while the cockpit of PIA planes integrated Pakistan’s flag, accompanied by PIA – written in English and Urdu.

Unfortunate That Maarkhor Logo Was Good Looking

Good.. 2.7 million is too much for a logo.

Professionals have brought PIA to the state it's in today. Face-painting isn't going to help PIA function any better.

I have no problem they can use Markhor's logo.....

CJP is in habit of smelling every b@tt.

"professionals" of PIA ..... Even phaja siri paay wala can run PIA better than these professionals.

If the court based it's decision on the fact that PIA as a state owned entity was incurring losses and that as such the last thing that should be on its mind is increasing its operational costs further, then they made the right choice. Nice as the Markhoor looks it's an expense coming out of tax payers money. I'm sure most tax payers would be far from devastated at finding out their money is not now being used to repaint planes for millions of rupees.

How old are you? Do u know how government entities should function? Or have u become so accustomed to everything being so broken that it's now considered "normal"?

Tell me what would PIA gain monetarily by having Markhor painted on the jets as opposed to Pak flag? Would it translate to more tickets being sold? Increased number of flights? New routes? Or any other such way of increase in revenue?

The answer is none...nothing like that would happen with a paint job. All it would be, is just additional expenses. Expenses that needlessly drain the nation's coffers. Did u forget how many times the gov had to bail the PIA out? Year after year, PIA loses money and then they have the b*lls to propose this sh*t, wanting to spend exorbitant amounts of money.

It's a shame that Supreme Court had to take notice bcuz it just goes to show how every other idiot running the country is just a clueless/corrupt loser. This should've been the job of PIA's management to put a stop to it.

If they can turn it into a profitable organization then they can go ahead and spend those profits on upgrading/decorating the fleet...until then "apni chadar dekh ker paaoon phelao"

It is the job of the specialized graphic designers and professional technical writer to make a logo for a product or a company .

Dont worry about age . i am old enough to comprehent this matter and how govt instituton works .See post 13 . it is always necessary to bring new innovations otherwise you will be lost . a man who has never studied graphic designing or technical writing can order to change the logo and it will also cost 2.7 to 3.4 million per plane .

Since u r "old enough" to "comprehend this matter". Tell me what's the "innovation" here as u claim?

What does the PIA gain in value after spending such a large sum of money(that's borrowed from gov in the first place)?
