Pakistan Airlines and post office to start courier service

Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) plans to start a courier service in an alliance with the Pakistan Post Office by the middle of the year, a senior official told Dow Jones Newswires.
The new service named “Speedex” is aimed at grabbing a slice of the US$86.4 million courier business in the country, the PIA official said.
“We are thinking of starting a courier service by the name of Speedex with the post office. We have planes and they have 13,000 outlets,” he said.
He said the new service is expected to start in May. The official said PIA is targeting a 20% market share in the courier business in the first year of operation.
