PIA Advertisement  (Abbas Ali Collection)

You can see most of the world from window of PIA jet - This PIA advertisement from 1994 says: "Come to Pakistan and you can't help but see natural wonders, ancient Moghul architecture and the exotic street theatre we call everyday life. Take a second look and you'll notice that these scenes inside elaborate archways, pavilions and windows also reveal our appreciation of detail and our belief that nothing should be overlooked. This sentiment reigns on every PIA flight, throughout Pakistan and to over 80 destinations worldwide. PIA. You're flying with extraordinary people"
