development of a new nation than in the case of Pakistan.

Ali Jinnah, the Founder of the upcoming nation, instructed Mr. M.A.
Ispahani, a leading industrialist, to set up a national airline, on a
priority basis. With his singular vision and foresight.
 Mr. Jinnah realized that with the formation of the two wings of
Pakistan, separated by 1100 miles, a swift and efficient mode of
transport was imperative

 The year 1955 also marked the inauguration of the fledgling
airline's first scheduled international service - to the glittering,
glitzy capital city of London, via Cairo and Rome.
 Initially, there was much criticism, as the public could not
comprehend or justify the need to operate an international
route when, in their opinion, other projects vital for a
developing country should have been given
a higher priority.

 While Mr. M.A. Ispahani was the first Chairman of the new
dynamic airline; it was the first Managing Director of PIA, Mr.
Zafar-ul-Ahsan, who in his 4 year tenure, got the ball truly
rolling and set the shape of things to come.

houses all the major departments of the airline, was the brain-
child of Mr. Zafar-ul- Ahsan.

record which remains unbroken to this day.
