Karachi Loses Milan & Athens

Post by Amaad Lone »

The twice weekly flights that use to orginate in Karachi and go to Milan and Athens via Lahore and Islamabad once a week each has changed its routing.

The new flights orginate in Islamabad and Lahore.

Karachi is now only linked with Copenhagen and Oslo on mainland Europe, once a week, besides Moscow twice a week, but there it is catering for the Dubai-Moscow traffic.

Sorry to see the demise of Karachi, but I guess PIA has to look after its priorities of reducing expenditure.

Great chance for Air Blue to step in and start operating some A321 flights into Europe from Karachi, maybe via Istanbul, or Cairo.

...and considering the excellent conditions of their A321s, they would be the perfect choice for the passengers. :D

Maybe Air Blue should consider buying PIA...lol

Apart from Domestic, North American and maybe Gulf flights most KHI people do not use PIA as I have observed for them transsitting at Dubai, flying new planes and having higher levels of service is a better option.
