There is a large Pakistani expat population on the west coast, and no direct airlink available for them to Pakistan.
Los Angeles would be the perfect destination for PIA to cater for not only the west coast but people living in the neighboring states.
I would do Lahore-Los Angeles twice a week non-stop using 777-240LRs.

That quote is from the airbus website about the A310 range. KHI-JOH is 4000 nautical miles, so JOH is easily reacheable non-stop from KHI on the A 310-300 Besides, i think they should fly a 772 KHI-NBO-JOHThe A310’s optimized design range of up to 5,200 nautical miles (9,600 km) is one of the parameters that has made it the ideal ‘first widebody’ aircraft for airlines growing to this size of operation.

Emirates has dumped a large capacity for Australian routes, and PIA could never compete with the Emirates twice daily flights into Sydney and other cities in Australia.
Looking at PIA, it would probably operate to Sydney:
Twice a week A310 Karachi-Bangkok-Singapore-Sydney.
Instead people would go with the non-stop Dubai-Sydney flights.

PIA could try and price competitively. Right now the published EK fares ex Karachi are quite high (although there are many discounted fares available)

Would PK have passenger traffic rights to from Karachi and Anchorage & to/from Anchorage and San Francisco?smarties wrote:i think EK's non-stop flight to SYD is more expensive, than the one via SIN.
i would like to see PIA fly:
LHE-KHI-SYD on the 777-240LR.
Also maybe LHE-ANC*-SFO on the 772ER. *Anchorage (ANC)
KHI-NBO-JNB on the 772 or A310

yes the nonstop flight is more expensive and is for the more higher fare paying pax in all 3 classes...the nonstop flight is actually there for the UK-AUST-UK market and for the corporate J-F class pax flying from EU/UK via DXB to SYD/MEL and vice versa.i think EK's non-stop flight to SYD is more expensive, than the one via SIN.
will never work.Also maybe LHE-ANC*-SFO on the 772ER. *Anchorage (ANC)
A 310 can easily do this route twice a week from KHI. No need for B 777 here. If PIA cant get 5th freedom rights on the NBO-JNB-NBO route, then its a waste of time flying to JNB via NBO. Rather interline with KQ/SAA from NBO!!!KHI-NBO-JNB on the 772 or A310

Sadiq...the publish fare that you have been quoting on few routes are not really the fares that are released by the airline to sell to the flying public. The published fare is 90% of the time higher than the "sellable fare" as the former is largely for pax buying last minute tickets as well as those flying multi-segment flights. EKs KHI-SYD-KHI fare in the off season is around RS 50-55,000 + Tax.Carrier From To Fare Basis

precisely...thats why its pointless going there...they are better off interlining with QF via SIN and BKK to Australia.Emirates has dumped a large capacity for Australian routes, and PIA could never compete with the Emirates twice daily flights into Sydney and other cities in Australia.
honestly speaking...a ISB-DXB-MAD twice a week A 310-300 service can make money if marketed and promoted the right way! Either ISB-DXB-MAD or KHI-DXB-MAD twice a week A 310.Madrid. I keep running into an increasing number of Pakistanis every time I visit Spain
did you find out if EK ever flew nonstop to JNB with the A 310? as I had mentioned the route according to my memory was mainly via COMMORES ISLAND.That quote is from the airbus website about the A310 range. KHI-JOH is 4000 nautical miles, so JOH is easily reacheable non-stop from KHI on the A 310-300 Besides, i think they should fly a 772 KHI-NBO-JOH
