ISLAMABAD, Feb 5 (Reuters) - Pakistan's election commission has asked the caretaker government to "refrain" from finalising a deal to privatise flag carrier Pakistan International Airlines (PIAa.PSX)
pending a review, a letter from the poll panel seen on Monday said.
The Feb. 1 letter from the panel to Pakistan's cabinet secretary, seen by Reuters, comes days ahead of the Feb. 8 general elections.
The caretaker government is close to putting the loss-making airline up for sale after completing a restructuring plan, Reuters has reported.
