Yesterday flight PK781/2 to and from Pakistan were non-stop and were not routed via MAN. Any news on JFK non-stop flights?

For the last 2-3 weeks, flights have been stopping in MAN and arriving with 6 hours or so delay..... but its good to hear they are back to non-stop again!!

I thought the stop was only for US bound flights because of security issues

I suggest they advise the CAA to quickly bring securirty at KHI and LHE to acceptable standards for direct flights to USA otherwise the new 777-240LR will not be utilised properly.

Imran Bhai;
I think the security issues have been resolved. The current issue is between PALPA and PIA in respect to the salaries being offered on Long Haul Flights (Ulta Long). Other airlines such as EK and Cathay pay around $ 1500-1700 for one ULR Flight(and a set of pilot do these flights once in 2 months), but PIA is not offereing anything closer to it. The Pilot Association have demanded the total set of 72 Flight Crew beofre they start the the JFK sector non-stop as its very tough to get it going with the current no. of sets. Currently PIA only has around 15-20 sets for 777's. These flights wont start in near 3-5 months.
Lets hope for the best, before these planes get rashed for the Hajj and Umra opperations.

Salam all!

For the love and fear of God someone PLEASE spare these ER and LR aircraft from having to perform Hajj and Umra duties!
