^^^Above is a freak who lost his mind in the busy world of today and takes his frustration by being funny with others.

[atharshah]

when the subject of our

PIA

appears

my heart trembles..

with what great difficulty our elder invested their own capital to build this air line we did well all these years

but i dont know what has happened now.

our national carrier and global giant is going in a mess,just like pakistan steel.

wheare other airlines are flourishing our airline is strugling to keep it self up from day to day.

we sit back to support our country,but well with all our taxes going in the wrong end how could we support with our full hand..

the day i know my country has a chain of honest goverment workers i would be the first to pay my complete taxes.

well what i mean to say is guyz when ever flying abroad.

preffer using pia over any other aircraft cuz always remember it is home away from home. nothing like your own people.

even when flying domesti preffer pia over air blue and shaheen as it is in desperate need

I have a feeling they will go for 747-400 as they cant afford new 777-300ER or even used ones, and the 777-300A being used by Asian carriers and Emirates are not up for sale yet.

according to wikipedia :

777-300ER: US$298.3 million

747-400/-400ER: US$234–266.5 million

747-8I: US$332.9 million

if pia can afford brand new 747-400, then used 777-300 should not be a problem, assuming these prices are correct.

KARACHI: Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) Managing Director Air Chief Marshall (r) Rao Qamar Suleman is currently on an official visit to Cologne and Washington to attend crucial meetings for PIA. The meetings were scheduled since long and any further delays on the part of the PIA could have resulted in serious operational implications for the airline in Europe and North America. The board of European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) had asked the present MD to come in person as no official from the senior management of PIA was acceptable for the meeting by the EASA board that is looking at enforcing suspension on PIA due to its failure to comply with the EASA 145 regulations. The present MD had requested the EASA board to reconsider their decision as the deadline to place the suspension was set for end of April 2012. The EASA board had agreed to suspend the sanctions on a condition that the PIA MD made a personal appearance before the EASA board. The meetings with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), USA officials at Washington DC were being held to stop the anticipated eight hours delay for the PIA flights going to the USA via Manchester for a secondary security check. Should the TSA enforce this condition, the feasibility of flying PIA to the USA shall have serious implications for the airline. The meeting was already scheduled and is a follow up of the TSA officials visit to Pakistan in April 2012. The PIA spokesperson further said that the MD was invited to the meetings at Cologne with EASA officials and in Washington with TSA officials regarding second security check, at Manchester airport as the sensitivity of the situation and that the matter on both issues can only be dealt with at the highest level.

KARACHI: Pakistan International Airline (PIA) managed to retain its international market share of 39 percent and increased its domestic market share to 76 percent from 74 percent of last year, said Air Chief Marshal Rao Qamar Suleman (retired) PIA chairman and CEO.

Presiding over the 55th annual general meeting (AGM) of the airline on Saturday, he said, “PIA has signed a purchase agreement with the Boeing Company for acquisition of five Boeing 777 aircraft”.

He said the corporation also planned to induct narrow body aircraft to augment capacity and bring efficiency. A focused approach to customer service will greatly help PIA return to profitability, he added.

PIA shareholders enthusiastically participated at the 55th AGM and put forth their suggestions and searching queries for turning around the national airline.

He informed during 2011, despite many challenges PIA added new destinations including Zahedan, Colombo, and Madina. He said in the face of competition, PIA managed to retain its international market share of 39 percent and increased its domestic market share to 76 percent from 74 percent of last year.

However, during 2011, slow economic growth in developed economies placed pressure on aviation business across the globe resulting in economic uncertainty. International travel growth remained depressed and showed mixed performance across regions, he added.

naye jhaaz!!

[capsat]

.... and you believed someone who has been assigned as MD / Chairman after completing term in PAF. He is in office of PIA for less then 90 days and Over blowing like typical GOOF.

use some common sense pick up news papers of last 1 year. check out how many PIA flights cancelled in one year. how much penalties PIA paid in europe & gulf for non-compliance & delays. what was strike ratio per day per week per aircraft in last 6 months of 2012.

come on 70% of PIA management is non aviation guys with political connections with only extended experience of screwing girls for appointment as air-crew. last i travelled PIA a lady of my mom's age was serving wet tissues.

meeting was only an eye wash to get fund sanctions PIA need massive lay-off. massive non operational budget cuts & start alliances with regional airlines for route sharing which are closeby in range of 737 endurance.

All news items published are not to be believed some are reported for witty humour like 2C does.

I know you are talking about number of passengers at Saudi routes , for these routes they already have 13 777 aircrafts ,but your suggestion for 747 is out of the picture now a days because this machine consume hell amount of fuel and many top airlines never consider even for their freight because of fuel ( see Emirates and Qatar ). For Saudi routes they must think different business plan more cost effective because these routes are considered cash cows for PIA. And again PIA cannot afford Airbus A330 because they are working from long time with Boeing and if they jump into Airbus it will be again a deal like they did in the past to purchase 6 old 747s from Cathy pacific. The reason is, they don't have Engineering facilities for any kind of Airbus variants and it requires huge investments for equipments and skilled hands which they are lacking, so at the time they must stick with Boeing.

[ceecix]

Its better for PIA to stick with 777-300, 747-400 are not much efficient as compare to 777-300, however even to buy 777 no one will be willing to lease it PIA because of its financial position. PIA can opt for 777-240 LR for being more efficient and economical!!!

When you travel by PIA you have to pay for the salaries of thousands of politically appointed employees. All governments have raped PIA and think it is a roti plant. In fact all government departments are roti plants, providing sustenance to awam. It is like a cat licking its own blood thinking it is getting nourished.
