Hopefully this process continues. It would be great if CAA adds cancelled flight data and then guage the airline performance. Because cancellation of flights is the real delima passangers face. I personally had bad experience with Serene.
Yes, absolutely true! PIA is currently operating with only 17 aircraft, covering its domestic network as well as international destinations such as the UAE, Bahrain, Oman, and Saudi Arabia. The airline operates three daily Umrah flights ex Pakistan to Jeddah and will soon resume operations to Manchester!
It’s truly a miracle to manage such extensive operations with such a small fleet. I believe the management is doing its best to revive the airline and conquer new horizons. Especially noteworthy is PIA Islamabad, which is generating around 65% of total revenue including counter sales through travel agents, while the remaining 35% comes from other stations and online sales.
I have never seen such an enthusiastic and dedicated team at the Islamabad Head Office!
