PIA advertisement in today's (March 4) newspaper.
Congratulations to the Aviation Division and CAA Pakistan on the expansion and completion of Multan's International Airport!
It's a good feeling... flying your own airline from a MYSTICAL CITY to a MAGICAL WORLD.

Re: PIA Starting Flights Between Multan and Dubai
Just once a week? Soon Qatar and Emirates will start their 3 to 4 per week flights from the same airport. Meaning that PIA could have flown from this airport 4 times to Dubai and 3 times to Qatar a week.
How is that other airlines see the potential but not PIA on this sector? No foresight!

I agree that travelling to Dubai on once a week basis is not going to be appealing at all, especially given PIA's history of cancelling flights at the drop of a hat. However, I am sure Qatar and Emirates are not just banking only on passengers who travel from Multan to Doha or Dubai and back only. These two airlines will be taking a lot of traffic for Europe, USA, Far-East. Australia, etc. too. This is what will make the 3 or 4 times per week flights viable for them.

Yes the Qatar & Emirates will just overlap the market at Multan airport as passengers from southern Punjab have to connect there flights from Karachi and Lahore so flights of PIA not only loss market share in Multan in domestic and international but loss passenger load at Karachi and Lahore too .
Even daily on time Flight to Dubai by PIA only attract passengers for Dubai but emirates and Qatar are capturing your passengers of all of PIA flights from KHI,LHE.
