That's good. if you can't operate daily then at least go for six weekly. YYZ and JFK should bump to six weekly too with ** Premier Service**

Wondering how many flights it was before current schedule upgrade.

Did they reduce from 6 to 4? Perhaps 4 weekly to china and 3 weekly to japan, instead of stopping in middle. Lahore to Islamabad to Beijing to Tokyo is long route. Maybe do Isb to tokyo direct.

Schedule for 3rd flight shows A310 equipment whereas ad shows Boeing 777, is it temporary that A310 is shown in schedule or equipment for some other flight to Beijing is being changed to Boeing 777 and particular will continue to operate by A310 ?

Are all Beijing flights going to be performed by Boeing 777 after the retirement of A310 from PIA fleet expected by the end of December 2016?

Or Pakistan-Beijing-Tokyo flights to be performed by Boeing 777 and some of Pakistan-Beijing flights to be performed by Airbus A320 after the end of A310 service?

Is Flight Coverage going along with B-777 Ops to PEK? Or AMECO would be given the Technical Handling?
