ISLAMABAD: Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has apologized for an advertisement about the resumption of its flights to Paris.
According to a foreign news agency, a spokesperson for the national airlines said that the organization had apologized for the ad that created a very wrong impression which was not intended by PIA at all.

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif recently ordered an investigation into the advertisement.
Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar during the session of Senate told the house about the probe. In a point of order, PPP leader Sherry Rehman on a point of order referred to a recent advertisement of the PIA about the resumption of its flights to Europe and said the ad had created a very bad impression, asking who were behind the ad.
