The flight schedule is baffling. For the passengers to Islamabad, it means 2 days will be wasted. From Frankfurt to Islamabad they have to depart on Sunday instead of preferred Friday and on the way back, they arrive on Friday. Lahore passengers on the other hand have the benefit for exactly the same reason. When passengers here have the luxury to choose atleast 2 flights daily by Emirates, daily flight by other Gulf carriers, I think PIA would find it difficult to compete. But then to full an Airbus 310 once in a week should not be that difficult. There is enough load to ISB and LHE I believe. Good atleast that PIA is back to Frankfurt. I am in all favour of it. I hope, I do not sound negative here. Just that could not understand the reason for that cirlce trip :)

As I have mentioned many times PIA is also absent from all online search engine .Even Schiphole airport website did not show booking for PIA from AMS to ISB.
Mr.Ejaaz haroon make a lot of claims of boosting up airline but he did not take any practical steps in this matter.He should atleast present next five year development plan of PIA.Induction of pilots is not enough,Target should be induction of new Aircrafts.
