Dedicated PIA aircraft to carry PM, camp office back to Pakistan
2016-07-10
[DAWN] A dedicated Pakistain International Airlines (PIA) aircraft has been deputed to transport Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif
... served two non-consecutive terms as prime minister, heads the Pakistain Moslem League (Nawaz). Noted for his spectacular corruption, the 1998 Pak nuclear test, border war with India, and for being tossed by General Musharraf...
and his London camp office back to Pakistain, PIA front man Danyal Gilani said on Friday.

"Due to the prime minister's health issues, PM Office had partly been shifted to London where a camp office had been set up," said a statement issued by the airline.

"Now that the PM has recovered after his surgery and is allowed to travel, the whole camp office has to be shifted back to Pakistain. On PIA's regular flights, so many seats were not available, due to which the only option was to depute a dedicated aircraft," the statement said.

The statement did not, however, mention a date for the PM's return to Pakistain.

Shahbaz Sharif
...Pak dynastic politician, brother of PM Nawaz Sharif, chief minister of Punjab...
flew to London earlier this week for Eid holidays and will likely return to Pakistain with the premier.

Local media reports claim the prime minister is scheduled to return to Pakistain on July 9 after doctors gave him the go-ahead.
