PIA was one of the first airlines in the world to introduce in-flight entertainment. It regularly featured in all the prestigious top-10-airline lists for over 20 years, before dropping out in the mid-1980s.

I am not sure how you want to introduce "new" things into history (stuff already happened people who did it died)

The shoot for this ad took place at the old Karachi Airport that worked as a hub in the region and was one of the busiest airports in Asia receiving up to 60 flights in an hour from around the world.

and the management now? Calling them a piece of shit is being nice to them!

An early 1970s press ad of Pakistan International Airlines (PIA). PIA was considered to be one of the ten best airlines in the world between 1962 and 1980. It constantly scored high for having ‘best in-flight entertainment,’ business class, ‘most convenient connections’, ‘delicious cuisine’ and ‘a wide selection of wine, whiskeys and beer.’

sigh good old days....

Thanks for tagging me in this thread, i can understand the turmoil of emotions a Pakistani (like you) feels when going through such pics.
In one of the documentaries by BBC, I heard a Pakistani say that Lahore was a metropolitan city back in 40's but today it looks so much diff (in a negative way) that he himself doesnt recognise it. He blamed it on ZuH's regime.


Happier times....

Just realised that Nehru was as tall as Jinnah.
