plan calls for KHI-LHE-YYZ nonstop.

but read the CTA order carefully...which says that PIA can only fly the 3rd weekly flight until April 2006 and not beyond that date.

I believe PK will introduce the 3rd flight in December to cope with the winter rush.

Well, this doesn't make much sense to me...... why can't they extend the flight to LHE? There is significant traffic from YYZ travelling to both cities, why not route it through LHE like the current tuesday flight?

I guess I can give up hope on a weekend flight for PIA to YYZ.... will be sometime before I can catch one of their B777's at YYZ again! :(

The difference in the layover does not matter. JFK crew patterns are also similar. All flights are given to the crew on a rotational basis. There is no limit on transit flights thru MAN.
