They do have the traffic. They use to fly direct to ZRH and ATH. I once took a flight from KHI-ZRH and it was full. They do have the traffic, but no one wants to take PIA to these places because their schedule is so bad. I mean who is going to fly to ATH or ZRH once a week? If they make it 2/3 times a week on an A310 with PTVs in all classes it would do well.
Installing PTVs in all classes might get a little costly :)

But how does flying via Dubai help them if traffic is not the problem then? If person X wanted to fly Karachi - Zurich, and PIA didn't work, they would fly EK regardless of whether or not PIA flew threw Dubai or nonstop. :?
