may be not attractive to the passengers from Australia as Thai airways have much better flight time and fare. PIA was supposed to do code share for Australia with Malaysian airline or air asia from Kualu Lumpur onward

Air Asia dont do Code-Shares... it doesnt fit with the LCC Business Model. As for MH, they no longer service Pakistan and have dramatically cut services to Aust... The best thing would be PK to code-share with TG. They already do from PK to BKK, so they should continue through to Australia.

TG is only good flight time ex. SYD & PER to LHE / ISB. From BNE & MEL it can be upto 24hr wait, so EK and EY are better in this regard.

SYD and MEL were in schedule viewtopic.php?f=1&t=24360 now BNE, PER and ZRH also listed.

Have Etihad resumed PEW? PIA schedule showing 32A operating the route in addition to 320, I'm guessing teh former is Etihad operated A320.

Whilst that may be a fair point in of itself, LCCs are starting to think about codesharing, particularly with the formation of the value alliance for example.

PIA adds five new destinations through code share with Etihad

Lahore; June 2, 2016 -
PIA adds five new destinations, four in Australia and one in Europe, as part of its code sharing arrangement with Etihad Airways.

These stations include Sydney, Perth, Melbourne, Brisbane and Zurich. Airlines sign such code sharing agreements for those destinations where they do not operate allowing passengers to travel on their tickets.

A year ago, in June 2015, PIA had signed code sharing agreement with Etihad Airways for several destinations in Europe, North America, Eastern Africa and Middle East including Rome, Madrid, Athens, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Washington, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Nairobi and Amman.

With this code share arrangement, passengers traveling to the US would now be able to avail the facility of immigration at Terminal 1 of Abu Dhabi airport, which would save them from going through immigration procedure at the US airports.

Under the code sharing arrangement PIA passengers get better connectivity to destinations where the airline does not operate.

PIA already has made such code sharing arrangements with Turkish Airways, China Southern Airlines and Thai Airways.
