ISLAMABAD: Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has directed all employees to submit mandatory disclosure forms detailing their familial ties and business connections to ensure organizational transparency and identify potential conflicts of interest.
Under the new directive, employees are required to report whether close relatives—including parents, siblings, and spouses—are employed within the national flag carrier. Staff must also disclose any professional relationships with third-party or outsourced personnel operating within the institution.

PIA management stated that the initiative is designed to safeguard institutional integrity, maintain accurate records, and pinpoint actual or perceived conflicts of interest that could influence administrative or business decisions.
Confidentiality and Strict Deadlines
PIA has assured staff that all information provided through the disclosure forms will be kept strictly confidential, with access restricted exclusively to authorized personnel. However, the administration cautioned that disciplinary action will be taken against individuals who provide false information, conceal relevant relationships, or fail to submit the details by the mandated deadline.
