Hi From Global Spirit with an update. Global Spirit will now commence operations into Islamabad sometime in the winter. We are awaiting the granting of a UK ATOL License before we can commence our sales activities. We believe this will be granted in the next month or so.

We are here and live in the Spirit of this world not the hereafter as suggested.

We will keep the forum updated.

with oil prices hitting $68 per barrel and GS using gas guzzling B 742s on long haul routes, it shall be interesting to see the operating costs of the aircraft on this route.
