Europe bans Pakistan International Airlines for at least six months,

[KediKesenFare3]

I pity those who have a real license and a Pakistani citizenship. No one is going to want them. Bad people always drag down good people with them.

 

[insight-out]

Running Airline or any other business is not job of politicians.
We could have many buyers from Arab world during Musharraf's rule, but one man single handedly ruined it all.
I don't understand this nation, who choose a vision less person as their leader.

I assume by "one man", you mean Imran Khan. Would you care to elaborate how he single handedly ruined it all? So far all he has done is hire the top management (which was almost ousted), conducted a public inquiry into the crash, and is exposing all the fake pilots and engineers. The issues he is dealing with right now, are all a legacy of previous governments.

As a personal anecdote, I was once traveling through Karachi airport, and happened to be standing behind an American gentleman at a counter. The man behind the counter asked for his name, which was James something. The man behind the counter could not spell James, and the American man had to spell it out for him. Usually, I don't care if Pakistanis don't speak English, but that was a clear case of hiring a person not qualified for the job.

Good. Its embarrassing but thats what happens when your national airlines become your "rishtedaar ka ghar"
Either clean it up top to bottom or kill it.I say Demolish it and start new.

 

[BATMAN]

you can fly direct on BA

BA is one world alliance partner and they use Qatar air to fetch their passengers from Pakistan.

 

[Imran Khan]

PIA is in such a state -- huge debt obligations and outstanding pension obligations -- that no airline will touch it. Literally, you cannot give the airline away if you wanted to.

There were opportunities in the past, where airlines like Emirates and Turkish offered to take over the airlines but was refused on political grounds.



Airlines like Emirates and Singapore Airlines are both considered government-owned airlines and are thriving. Mainly, they were operated as businesses, managed by professional managers, and free from political interference. PIA was once like that but it became politicized and the results are there to see.

lollllz its means you have not follow news of airlines sir . ME5 thrive because of subsidies and secret funds pumping by govs . not because they earning profits .give this much money to any airline and they will thrive more .

BA is one world alliance partner and they use Qatar air to fetch their passengers from Pakistan.

BA itself fly to Islamabad now sir since jun2019 .

Now a days degrees are for sale in Pakistan, this explains the contrast among Pakistanis with same academic qualification.
While i spot tons of more ills in the process of entering the scanner area to boarding the plane.

On the first part of your post... what i meant is, that if there was no Imran Khan, today we didn't had PIA would be a private firm, where we expect all fake pilots would be gone long ago and consequently no accidents.

 

[Morpheus]

most definitely a bad duffer strategy by PTI, PIA will most probably now go bankrupt after this, no option but to sell it.

Did you think it was making a profit before? It was making a loss for years. It was only recently, that it had started making a breakeven operating cost under new leadership, only for the courts to go and have him removed.

May have had to do with this as well:

DEADLY SPREAD
Half of UK’s imported coronavirus cases since June 4 ‘originate from Pakistan’
British officials have also reportedly warned Pakistan's government to bring in tighter controls on its flights amid a spike in cases.
Pakistan International Airlines, the national carrier, has been flying direct to and from the UK since early April.
At first it was to repatriate British and Pakistani nationals with up to a dozen trips a week.
In the past week the airline resumed more regular daily flights to London and Manchester.

https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/11968577/coronavirus-cases-uk-pakistan/

This has nothing to do with this, retard. Planes are not tossing people out into their homes. Airport has to check and isolate people.

Secondly, you using two of the unreliable sources. Do you know the number of imported cases in UK. Its less the 100. It was 60 cases, half of that would be 30. So out of the 300k, express is focusing on 30?!! Wow, who is responsible for the other thousands case? Even UK member have said telegraph has a tendency to exaggerate stories.

BA itself fly to Islamabad now sir since jun2019 .

Are you sure? may be they have operated few flights and than they use code share partner, which is Qatar air.

Don't worry Qatar management group bid for PIA Islamabad airport. Which will increase the traffic for transit passenger.

until corona hit the world they operate twice weekly flights sir . i am surprised you missed that show .

I think only from Heathrow

Other local option is Emirates via Dubai I think. I would use it to avoid PIA. Hope they sort this mess out.

Some Indian minister is claiming that there might be 4000 fake pilots in India. They are checking their records on emergency basis.
