Any updates on Air Indus??

Post by Yasir Airways »

Now it has been over a year Air Indus are operating successfully (MashAllah). I was just wondering, is there any plans for the future expansion or are they going to stuck with those three B737 and continues to strong their domestic connections?

What do we guys think? where are we going to see Air Indus in the next 5 years of time? It would be nice to hear from some of you experienced Aviationist!.. just a general point of view.. :)

Air Indus just crap, have configured their 733s in 148 compared to PK 118 for the same. Highly untrained ground staff and cabin crew and poor meal service. Flights between UET LHE & ISB cancelled for unforeseen period causing lot of inconvenience to pax.

LOL you should try talking to one of their crew members and listen to the over ambitious stories they will tell you and convince you that Air Indus is doing better than all the airlines in Pakistan and specially make you feel as if PIA is nothing as compare to their airline . :-$

I recently had a round trip from Islamabad to Quetta on Air Indus, aircraft was B733 (AP-BLE). Over all experience taking Air Indus over Shaheen or PIA was fine, the only problem was with aircraft's condition. Seats were in very bad shape, aircraft was noisy and landing wasn't smooth either. Other than that, I found ground / air crew smiling, they were helpful and greeting every passengers too. Snacks were served with on board the flight and I would rate the quality on 7 on the scale of 10. Flight was on time and reached the destination on time too on both legs.

Yes they are getting only 1x737-500 from Jordan Aviation, but Jordan has asked for some bank guarantees asair iIndus has defaulted previous payments to Jordan.
