PIA planning to close 3 European destinations

Pakistan International Airlines is planning to close 3 European destinations after New York, already losing up to US$8b every year as foreign airlines are taking more than 50% passenger load to international destinations . Pakistan Airline Pilot Association (PALPA) president captain Khalid Hamza termed the decision a big blunder showing lack of commercial aviation experience on the part of the current airline management. PIA is planning to close down routes of Barcelona, Milan and Paris after the recent closure of New York, he added. The executive committee of PALPA has decided to approach the Senate and NA standing committees to brief them on the disastrous impact of the shrinking network. The carrier has already suspended its operation in Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Bradford, Glasgow Chicago, Moscow and Istanbul. <br/>
