VIP on A310 from BHX

Post by legalize »

Any idea who the vip was going out on the bhx-isb flight on sunday 11th september?
I was dropping someone off at the airport and there was a lot of commotion going on. All we were told was that it was a very important person.

Most probably that 310 will be having a stop over there in BHX onboard President Musharaf... I saw this news on GEO Tv that he is going to US that day.

PIA is not doing it free?

whenever these kinds of VIP trips trip take place.

PIA send the invoice to Government of Pakistan addressed to Foreign Ministry of Pakistan.

That is absoutly correct, check it out with your own sources.

Sending an invoice is one thing, getting paid is another.

Ahaan!!! You know two days before i saw one A310 and one 747-300 of PIA departing Isb one after the other arround 1400 hrs (paki time) and schedule of those two aircrafts was not mentioned there at PIA website. I thought the other 747 was replacing a/c if something goes wrong... just my perception.
