i was just wondering...since they have a surpplus of A310's now..why not use the A310's for the US ? Route them via some Southern Mediteranean country , falling within Africa maybe , or maybe a northern European state that does not fall within the EU , all u need is a fuel stop right ? so why not press forward with this ? instead of cutting back on flights to the US which makes a ton of money for PIA

US requires Transit Stop and security check at any european country before entering in to US air Space.

Where did you get this info from, the offical website of PIA is still showing the old schedule?

Route 777's to Chicago Via Glasgow. This is prob the quickest route to the USA & also Glasgow has just lost its non-stop AA service to Chicago. Run this 2x a week and flights would be full in both directions!

I just talked to the PIA station manager in Chicago and he said that service will resume on March 26th to and from Chicago

I should have asked him--what will happen to passengers who have confirmed seats to Pakistan in this time period...wil PIA accomadate them with other airlines??

Anyone have any ideas??

I called PIA today in KHI...all ORD, GLA and the Sunday YYZ flights have been suspended only until further notice.

All PIA ticket stock holding agents were also faxed a circular today informing the same.

The PIA office in Glasgow are saying that LHE-GLA will operate on a Wednesday and Sunday with a 777.
