60% of PIAs KHI-DEL and KHI-BOM flights are filled with 6th freedom pax of Indian origin / pspt holders flying on to Gulf countries as PIA is one of the cheapest airlines for them to fly in J and Y class INDIA-GULF-INDIA via KHI.malpensa26 wrote:that much demand for india? wow indian sends a320 and PIA 777s so i guess even indians will take PIA since it would be the better product

B777240ER, this 5 weekly flight is via KHI. It's really stupid this PK787 on fridays. I mean who is going to go from ISB to LHR via a 2 hour stop over in KHI? When there are 4 direct services a week?B777240ER wrote:Are you sure for ISB-LHR its 5 weekly?
What they should do is send the PK787 ISB-KHI sector as a domestic flight, as the current ISB-KHI sector on 787 has no traffic rights.
However, London-Islamabad flights remain 4 flights a week.

precisely...one would rather then take EK-KU-GF-EY and transit for 2 hrs in BAH/DXB/KWI/AUH than transit at KHI airport or sit in the plane on the tarmac waiting for pax to board from KHI.I mean who is going to go from ISB to LHR via a 2 hour stop over in KHI? When there are 4 direct services a week?
