In 1963, Saudia, the national airline of Saudi Arabia, initiated a significant endeavor by visiting Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) to learn from its well-established and successful operational model. Founded in 1955, PIA had swiftly gained prominence as a highly respected airline in the region, known for its efficiency, exemplary customer service, and overall management excellence. Saudia’s primary goal was to understand and adopt PIA’s efficient operational strategies, customer service practices, and management methodologies. PIA had earned a reputation for professionalism, stringent safety standards, and punctuality, setting a benchmark for other airlines in the aviation industry. The exchange of knowledge and expertise between the two airlines played a crucial role in enhancing Saudi Arabian Airlines’ services. By closely studying and implementing the successful practices observed at PIA, Saudia was able to carve out its own success story within the aviation sector. This collaborative effort not only facilitated Saudia’s improvement in various operational aspects but also highlighted the importance of cross-industry learning and cooperation.
