PIA Advertisement

PIA Advertisement  (Abbas Ali Collection)

PIA advertisement from 1995. The advertisement says: "No matter how friendly and efficient you may already find our cabin crew, we believe there is always a little room for improvement. That's why our hosts and hostesses attend regular refresher courses on providing PIA's famous Eastern hospitality on all our flights to all our 44 international destinations in 40 countries around the world. Better in-flight service is just another reason to look at us now"

PIA Advertisement  (Abbas Ali Collection)

PIA advertisement from 1963. The advertisement reads:

"Do try not to be late. PIA almost never is. Every airline has a thing. You know, like serving 179 hors-d'oeuvres or something like that. Our thing is being on time. PIA's record: a smart 13.4% better than the 75% punctuality recommended by the FAA. We do it by keeping our jets in such sparkling shape that last year we had only 2% technical delays. PIA intends to maintain that record. So do try to be on time; we almost always are...and we just can't wait for anyone-not even very VIP's. Your travel agent will book you aboard to London, Frankfurt, Geneva, Rome, Beirut, Teheran, Karachi, plus connections to India, Nepal and Burma."
