Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) the country’s national flag carrier is all set to regain its lost glory days, as it has decided to launch a premier service at some selected routes on August 14th this year.
“New leased PIA planes. Day not far when PIA will be at par with the world's finest airlines IA. That's Nawaz Sharif!,” said Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif daughter Maryam Nawaz at Twitter, sharing some pictures of the wide body aircraft through her account.
As per local media reports, the new service would be available on some domestic routes and a few international routes at the initial stage. “However, the airline is in the process of finalising the modalities and I will only be in a position to explain the details once these are finalised,” said PIA Spokesman Danyal Gillani.
Four wide body A-330 aircrafts are to be acquired on lease, informed the spokesman. For this purpose, negotiations are underway between PIA and Sri Lankan Airlines.
These aircrafts would primarily be used for PIA’s premier service, “With new aircrafts, more professional crew and improved service standards, the new service aims at providing an altogether different experience to the passengers. This service will go a long way in helping PIA regain its market share both domestically as well as internationally,” added Gillani.
