but there is a motive behind it .. Qatar getting additional flights in to Northern PAkistan and tht means a loss of market share of PIA ... its like theres some thing spare lying around at ur house .. u just give it away cuz u think it might help the other person ... but u know he or she realizes tht there under obligation to u.. r obligation is to provide additional landing rights ..

Ok, so they might get additional landing rights and increase their frequencies. Whats wrong with that? Its not like they're going to be getting all the facilities free of charge. They'll be paying and our end will be earning.

Present Status of Qatar Airbus

Post by Bukhari »

Does anyone have any information about the current status of the A 310 gifted by Qatar? Has it been registered? I heard about some operational matters pertaining to the aircraft being discussed by concerned authorities. Can someone shed light on that as well especially the insurance issue.

Could you throw some light on the interior of the gulfstream and the falcon PAF have ?

Read your review of the 310s interior

Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz will travel to Uzbekistan, Singapore and Hong Kong this month. Let's see which aircraft is used for the trip.

President Musharraf is also due to travel to Spain and Poland this month.

Just a thought came to my mind:

Is it possible that Qatar Airways is interested in buying PIA and they have gifted A310 to Pakistan Government so that aircraft of a future Qatar Airways owned-PIA don't get used for Pakistan Government's VIP flights duty? Or in other words: for VIP flights Pakistani Government will not have to rely on aircraft of a Qatar Airways owned-PIA?

Quite possible but chances are 10%. The chances of PIA Engineering shop being turned into a joint ventured company with Qatar are much higher. Thats my feeling.

Arif Ali Khan Abbasi (Ex PK MD) is already on record saying Qatar had approached when he was MD & he refused to make any deal on Engg etc.
The Ex MD had also given a statement last when he was let go from PK, saying that he was the one who had made the Cathay Pacific B743 deal! Wonder if Arshad Jalil also isn;t a part of it all.
