ISLAMABAD (Reuters) -Pakistan will push back the deadline for companies to express interest in buying national carrier Pakistan International Airlines to May 18, the country's privatisation minister said on Thursday. The extension, announced in a statement by Minister for Investment and Privatisation Abdul Aleem Khan, came a day before the expressions of interest had originally been due. "The Board accorded approval for extension in the date for submission of interests on the request of interested parties," he said, referring to the Privatisation Commission Board he leads.
