That is not much. Because they are selling 4 times more than this TO Pakistan . I once did a study when I was Country Manager UK and found that 80 percent tickets on the PAK-UK-PAK market were sold in UK.
I also did PAK-NYC-PAK it was 75percent sale in USA. That is the pattern for pretty much every station except ME and KSA.
