PIA raise Chitral fares by 80%

[CoyBoy]

Reported in todays Dawn the fares have gone up form 1900 to almost 3500 Rs. Economy + fares are even higher, PIA only operate there from PEW with ATR.

I feel if you wanna fly you have to pay the price to keep the service viable, or take bus, truck, jeep, car.

Is it do to Chitral being so much in demand that PIA had to hike up the fares? or just the usual due to oil price rises .. PIA has to raise ticket prices...
