Re: PIA Tokyo, Beijing and New York Flights Suffering Losses
How does an airline figure out if a route is causing losses??
I think it is a double edge sword.
To attract people to an airline you need at least four flights a week.
PIA does not have the capacity or the vision to operate more then two, so even the two flights fly half empty and cause a losses forcing airlines to shrink even further.
In ten years PIA has cut a number of international stations resulting in fall of traffic and revenue, while employees have remained static at around 19000. Operational fleet also shrank from 40+ in 2008 to 25 in 2014.
The big question is to bring in the right type of aircraft, increase frequency and attract passengers back to PIA.

Maybe the management needs to go to school and attend some business courses. It seems that this management has no strategy and always finds things to blame on. =D>
All The Way, It's PIA

Re: PIA Tokyo, Beijing and New York Flights Suffering Losses
why would anyone want to endure the embarrassing/harassing attitude of Manchester security when they check it before leaving for JFK?
My parents flew on this last year and they don't recall it being a pleasant experience. Everyone had to leave the aircraft, and also take all their belongings with them, re-go security and then re-board.
It is not a direct flight therefore, because u have to clear security again.......makes it the same as going via Doha, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, etc so why not go on them ??
Not sure about Tokyo and Beijing, and most traffic is towards EU, UK and USA/Canada anyways.......not many going to japan or china other than govt officials or businessmen.
With the delays and poor service and non-availability of replacement aircrafts in case 1 of them goes tech, you're looking at 2-3 days of delays.
