The High Court of Justice in the British Virgin Islands has issued a stay order ex-parte on the assets of PIA Investments Limited, including two hotels in New York and Paris, in relation to a $5.97 billion award enforcement sought by Tethyan Copper Company (TCC) against Pakistan. The award was issued by the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) in the Reko Diq case. Pakistan and PIA Investments are contesting the proceedings, with the government seeking to protect national assets and considering amicable settlement options. The Reko Diq dispute originated when TCC's mining lease application was rejected by Balochistan in 2011, leading to an ICSID tribunal ruling against Pakistan in 2017 and a $5.97 billion penalty in 2019. Pakistan has challenged the award and a final hearing is scheduled for May 2021.

The minister's claims were later proven to be exaggerated and inaccurate, causing significant damage to the industry's reputation. The government, including Prime Minister Imran Khan, admitted mishandling the situation, and efforts for damage control ensued. The article details the events leading up to the crisis, the internal conflicts, and the ongoing challenges faced by the aviation sector in Pakistan.
