PIA should have waited to launch the PIA Express till after post Hadj operation.

Using the wetleased A321s, and offering atleast 4 daily flights between Karachi-Lahore and Karachi-Islamabad.

PIA should have launched this new product with better a better aircraft, and good image.

The 747-200 carrying 440 passengers is hardly the image PIA should be promoting.

true i wouldve have preferred newer aircraft for this scheme. this B747-200 again is very old and yes is the former air universal sitting in karachi. but who knows this could be the start?

PIA wants to shuttle a bus load of people under the cover of EXPRESS. Hmmm.

The Airbus aircrafts that are currently being wet-leased would be more economical for this product don't you guys think?

What is so express service like about this new product that PIA is launching? Maybe regional would be better instead of express?

The could have moved the 'Express' titles a little closer to the front.

Here's link to rare colour photo of AP-BIC in PIA markings. The aircraft appears to be sporting 'Destination Pakistan 2007' sticker below cabin windows near the first door.
