New York: Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif has said that Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz urged him to purchase the Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) and rebrand it as "Air Punjab".

Speaking to the Pakistani community in New York, he said that his daughter said that they should acquire PIA and rename it 'Air Punjab' after making it the best airline.

PML-N President stated, “Maryam has suggested him to buy the national flag carrier.”

He mentioned that he advised Maryam that she could start a new airline that would serve destinations all over the world. "I believe discussions have taken place regarding this matter."

"I told Maryam to have consultations around it. I told her that you can buy the PIA and also establish a new airline too and that Air Punjab should go from Lahore, Islamabad and Karachi to New York, London, Tokyo, Hong Kong and every part of the world. I believe a discussion is taking place on this."
