Re: PIA Plans to Operate ATR 72 for Muscat Flights
This quote from Shahzad M. Paracha (in the linked article) stood out to me:
I'm surprised he was so upfront about the route not being profitable."We do not make money in this route but we operate it as there are thousands of Pakistani nationals who live in these places and work in Muscat. Besides that, no other airlines operate in this route from Muscat"
