    Pakistan International Airlines Reaffirms Confidence in Sabre, Signs Global Distribution Agreement November 5, 2019 SINGAPORE, Nov. 5, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Sabre Corporation (NASDAQ: SABR), the leading technology provider to the global travel industry, today announced a new content distribution agreement with Pakistan International Airlines. As the country's national flag carrier, the agreement will provide Sabre's extensive network of travel agents with both domestic and international content via its rich global travel marketplace. Joining Sabre's leading Global Distribution System will have a positive impact on both Pakistan International Airlines and the country's travel economy.

Moreover, today's announcement will also allow Pakistan International Airlines to further strengthen their presence in new markets, such as the United States, as well as locally and across the globe.

  • Airlines and Subsidy: Our Position ¬
    Airlines and subsidy: our position ¬ Myth Airline subsidies are a “Gulf” problem FACT Market-distorting subsidies and government support are sadly present in every world region Myth Emirates is subsidised FACT Completely unsubsidised. We campaign against airline subsidies Myth Emirates accesses cheap or free fuel FACT False. We buy fuel from BP, Shell and Chevron in Dubai and worldwide at market rates Myth US and European airlines received support decades ago but are now subsidy-free FACT Bankruptcy protection and government bailouts continue to exist Airlines and subsidy: our position ¬ We understand that despite no evidence, an oft repeated myth can ultimately be accepted as conventional wisdom. In this document you will find our views on subsidy in the airline industry, thorough explanations about Emirates’ business model and our response to misrepresentations that have been levelled against us - from claims about subsidised fuel, financial support and staff conditions to environmental regulation and airport charges. Emirates believes: • A common set of transparent financial reporting metrics to measure and apply against all international carriers should be determined by IATA and ICAO on what defines a subsidy. • Governments should not provide injections, borrowings or financing to airlines, regardless of shareholding status. • All governments should pursue liberalisation and open skies with the objective to end the greatest subsidy of all – aero-political protection.

  • Liberalization Without Privatization: a Perspective from Aviation Industry
    Liberalization without Privatization: A Perspective from Aviation Industry Hamza Hameed* Even in an increasingly liberalized and deregulated international aviation industry, there is a significant number of entities in many states which are still owned and controlled by governments. These are mostly publicly owned airlines and airports which often do not allow new entrants into their respective national markets and they also often partake in predatory practices which they are not held accountable for due to their relationship with government. Their affiliation with government also leads to high levels of inefficiency due to issues such as overstaffing and substandard maintenance. This article looks at how privatization of service providers in the aviation industry is essential to enhance competition between players within national markets. As part of this analysis, this article considers the importance of the privatization of airlines and airports and how the lack of privatization leads to abuse of dominant position type practices and predatory behaviour to keep out new entrants. To enhance the link between privatization and competition, examples are given from across the world with a special case study from Pakistan. This analysis shows that deregulation and liberalization of the aviation industry without privatization often leads to anti-competitive behaviour in market. Therefore, if a country decides to liberalize its aviation policy, it must back this up with privatization practices to encourage a free, fair, and competitive national market. 1. Introduction The Chicago Convention in 1944 sets out the dynamics for operations of the international civil aviation.1 It built up a system dependent upon exchanges of traffic rights between states bilaterally.
