current one is different now. Some planes still have it I think, but it is going to be changed. Now almost all have a solid green tail, with a Crescent and star on it.

yet another move by USA. After Hafiz Saeed another pressure tactic.

Currently PIA flights stop for about an hour and a half at Manchester, but now they will be there for about 5 or so hours, and hence more airport charges, parking charges etc etc.

PIA should quit this route now, this is justa disgrace.

A result of back licking the US!

Well there are just 2 flights per week that go to U.S and that to, towards New York only. Quiting that will do no harm

Definitely. The current routes, with a 5 hour stop at Manchester will not be profitable for PIA any more.

It will incur heavy losses.

Most Pakistani-Americans in general are starting to feel comfortable to travel to Pakistan via Toronto. Over here, PIA tickets get sold out fast because of them....
I think Air Blue has started to pickup the pace. It also goes to Manchester...

London warns PIA against delays in Olympic rush

KARACHI: The airport authorities of Britain have given a stern warning to some airlines including the Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) that their landing rights will be cancelled in case of any late arrivals and departures during the Olympics period.

Let's see if the planning department can get some good work in now.
 
PIA is a national disgrace.

How it can allow flights without the proper maintenance and safety checks is nothing short of criminal.

Anywhere else the MD and other senior managers would have been hauled in front of the courts for criminal negligence.

Our airlines need to study Quantas and other such airlines where they have implemented systems that help predict problems and hence can be sorted out before the aircraft has an accident.

It is also shocking that the CAA did not ban PIA from flying after it found all the safety and maintenance problems.

In fact a company should not be in the flying business if it's culture is not safety and maintenance as well as customer service.
In fact if PIA cannot be bothered to carry out it's legal obligation why should it bother with customer service which of course it does not. Hence it is once of the worst airlines in the world. Shame for us.
 
Russia brings the Superjet to Pakistan

Aircra*ft maker Sukhoi hopes to tap local aviati*on market.

PRICE TAG: $31-35m is the price of a Sukhoi Superjet 100. PHOTO: AFP


KARACHI: A Russian aircraft manufacturer is in Karachi to market the Sukhoi Superjet 100 (SSJ-100); a narrow-bodied aircraft with a dual class cabin that can transport 100 passengers over regional routes.

Russian Consul General Andrey Demidov had called a press conference in this regard, which was addressed by the Public Relations Assistant of the Consul General Albert T Fayzullov.

The plane first touched down at the Jinnah International Airport in Karachi on May 4.

Fayzullov revealed that Air Indus – a domestic carrier about to commence operations in the coming months – is in talks with the aircraft manufacturer for three of the jets.

Each jet carries a price tag of around $31-35 million.

The plane is being marketed by Sukhoi – a major military aircraft manufacturer in Russia – in Kazakhstan, Indonesia, Vietnam, Laos and Myanmar.

The Russian state carrier Aeroflot has purchased over thirty aircraft for its own use from Sukhoi which claims that the Superjet 100 employs the latest technology and is safe and fuel efficient.

“The aircraft is comparable in comfort to Airbus and even Boeing,” said Fayzullov, while addressing the press conference.

Sukhoi claims that the plane has an 8-10% efficiency advantage on cash operational costs over competitors; reduced fuel burn per seat; a new engine designed especially for the SSJ 100; higher maintenance intervals; lower operation costs; spacious cabins; wide seats; and lower noise and emissions.

Fayzullov added that the plane comes at a more competitive price than similar capacity planes in the market, and that many have shown interest in purchasing the plane. Sukhoi manufactures military aircraft and is traditionally famous for its fighter jets.

The company says that it is marketing the Superjet in Pakistan and other regional countries for their emerging markets. It says the younger demographic is becoming increasingly capable of travelling by air because of improving economic conditions, which it believes will bolster demand for carriers.

Prevented from take off

The demo for the plane was, however, prevented by the Civil Aviation Authority on grounds of technical issues. Fayzullov, who covered for Demidov due to the latter’s departure following the delay, said “the plane was supposed to make demo flights … but wasn’t able to because the pilot fell ill. He was even taken to the hospital for this.”

A businessman in attendance at the press conference disputed this claim; saying that there was actually a fault with the plane due to which the CAA did not allow it to take off.
