No direct flights from KHI-YYZ sector. 2 operating from Islamabad & 1 from Lahore. Not sure why they stopped Khi as its convenient for lot of passengers specially families/elderly travelling alone. Seems like a policy to make ISB hub but then why directly from Lahore or its temporary schedule because of covid issue?
Out of 3 YYZ flight, 2 are with a day layover. worst scheduling.
PIA Stop direct flight between KHI-YYZ

Re: PIA Stop direct flight between KHI-YYZ
I would be really surprised if the Karachi flights were making a profit, emirates had dominated that market, Islamabad and Lahore are premium markets currently thats why a lot of airlines are wanting to fly there.Khan747 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 18, 2020 7:00 pm No direct flights from KHI-YYZ sector. 2 operating from Islamabad & 1 from Lahore.

To be honest, PIA lost at Karachi a long time ago, even their london flight was once a week and that is saying something

“Pia lost Karachi a while ago” — And ever since PIA has been a loss making entity!! They should have competed at Karachi and also expanded Simultaneously to the premium markets of Lahore and Islamabad!!
PAKISTAN is PIA’S home turf!!
Best Regards

Re: PIA Stop direct flight between KHI-YYZ
It is good news, is 2x weekly or just 1x weekly?
PIA should re-visit KHI strategy, and should fought and win back passengers that are lost to ME3. It is very tough for PIA but survival of PIA is depend on this. It is really bad for PIA to unanimously loose against the juggernaught of Me3's.
Fortune favours brave.

Re: PIA Stop direct flight between KHI-YYZ
@FKhan722 You are spot on..!! You have summed it up very nicely. We as a nation always try to find shortcuts rather than consolidating the existing/established setup. Pakistan has a huge potential in the aviation industry. indeed we have a huge VFR market to/from KHI/ISB/LHE/SKT and PEW. Still there is no premium business as such with an exception to ISB due to diplomatic movements.
Can someone please explain me what has PK achieved by moving the HUB from KHI to ISB?
