PIA replacing LHE to Delhi Flight with ATR-72

Post by proudPakistani »

PIA replacing weekly A320 flight from Lahore to Delhi with twice a week flight with ATR-72 from 6th Jan 2016.

I think PIA not getting enought load on this Route.

PIA replacing this flight with Lahore to Dhaka (PK-268), a weekly A320 flight.

Hope spotters in Delhi manage to photograph it.

In the past, PIA Fokker F27 Friendship turboprop aircraft was also used for flights between Lahore and Delhi.

The load was quite poor on today's flight. I think they should introduce AT7 on both the flights now.
