PIA Advertisement  (Abbas Ali Collection)

PIA advertisement from 1981. The advertisement reads: "A PIA aircraft now takes-off or lands every 6 minutes on its world-wide network. A schedule of 762 flights a week on 62 cities on four continents - taking off or landing every six minutes round the clock. 109 departures a day - of our modern fleet of B747s, DC-10s, A-300s and 707s. Kept in top condition at an engineering base acknowledged among the best in Asia.

Quite obviously this quality and level of activity would not be possible without exacting operational and technical standards.

It is these standards that have attracted 44 airlines and agencies to send their personnel to PIA for training.

PIA in its proper perspective is not only the national flag carrier. But also an airline competitors regard all over the world with high esteem."
