If they deploy ATRs on KHI-LHE/ISB routes. It will be very unpopular as people have options to fly 737s, 320s and even 330s and 777s on these routes.
I would say on an average flight in Pakistan, only 10-20% of passengers have awareness and appreciation of aircraft type and any comfort it provides. I am sure if you sell a ISB-KHI ticket for 6k on an ATR compared to 10k on an A320/777, 80 to 90% would opt for ATR flight.
agree and majority of those passengers will say it was a fokker aircraft
Army ka purana c130 Hercules FTW , last year two of my gilgit resident colleagues said about the atr 42 after crash, that they are treated unjustly and old army"" aik soo tees""aircraft were dumped on them with white fans instead of jets

45 year legacy of PIA with fokker, no wonder ppl wont forget it. But due negative publicity after december crash they will know ATR now.
Well Sir. Abbas reported that they had given an advertisement for crew of an atr 72, so new hiring, anyways i hope that they take ownership of the planes and merge with shaheen or airblue as their low cost operater that would be a first in Pakistan double first (merger & low cost airline)
Anyone has an update on what happened to the supposed arrival of atr 72 by the end of April? What happened? And reportedly they have a 737-300 stored as well to restart operations in time for hajj flights? Too late for all that I suppose?
