Another QF 787-9 is showing up from Sydney on Wednesday. It would take off from SYD at 09:00 Local Time and a river at ISB at 17:00 LT.
The orbital speed of the Earth around the Sun averages about 30 km/s or 18 mps (108,000 km/h or 67000 mph).
Which means we're travelling 97 times the speed of sound. And yet we can't feel the motion,
SubhanAllah

PIA should think about starting 2X weekly flight to the Australia either from Islamabad or from Lahore. As Pakistani diaspora in Australia is growing and PIA would have non-stop flight advantage over ME-3, as for ME-3 carriers they need to back track the flight to the hub and then fly to Oceana hence effectively adding time and miles to the journey.
