Pakistan International Airlines has decided to change its logo after ten years, according to spokesman of the airline.
The picture of Pakistan’s national animal Markhor (Ibex) will be printed on the tails of the PIA planes, the spokesman said.
“The ibex is rare and faces its enemies all alone in mountains. The national flag-carrier will also do the same,” the spokesman said.
New planes will also be introduced at the inauguration of Islamabad International Airport on April 20, according to the PIA spokesman.
The sources placed in Aviation Division said PIA’s board of directors were not sought the permission for the design change.
The PIA last changed its logo and color in 2010, as according to the PIA spokesman, such changes are normal.
“The power of attitude and altitude come together in PIA’s Brand Story! #NewPIA #PIA #BrandStory,” said the PIA in a tweet.
Advisor to the Prime Minister on Aviation Sardar Mahtab Ahmad Khan inaugurated a new livery of the PIA here yesterday in Islamabad.
Meantime, New Islamabad International Airport has been made operational this morning.
