I wonder if a flight from BWP to ISB will be profitable a few times a week.

PIA ended Bahawalpur flights due to poor passenger load, says airline's CEO Air Marshal Arshad Malik.
Passenger load has gone down for a number of destinations due to improved road network.

Re: PIA to Resume Bahawalpur Flights
Thats a shame, I used to fly a bit between Bahawalpur and Karachi and there was traffic, it sounds like there is more to the story here. Probably not enough aircraft and the likes. We need domestic flights to be at an ideal time to connect to international traffic at airports.

Re: PIA to Resume Bahawalpur Flights
How come they pull out so early? I mean give it some time and focus on sales, restarting, and then quitting a route seems not to be good for the image. PIA really needs to review its domestic network.

They may aswell sell the airport and build it into another housing scheme or give it to the airforce. What a waste of land!
