KARACHI: In a step to facilitate its customers, Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has announced further reduction in its fares on domestic routes with immediate effect.
According to PIA spokesperson, the national flag carrier has fixed Rs 9,572 for one-way ticket for any local destination, including Islamabad, Lahore and Karachi.
The new fares will come into effect from today, said the spokesperson. He maintained that the passengers are allowed to carry had luggage upto 7 kilogram.
Earlier on June 29, the national flag-carrier, Pakistan International Airlines (PIA), had announced a reduction of fares for domestic flights.
The PIA spokesperson had made the announcement that Rs 12,000 had been fixed for one-way ticket inclusive of all taxes for different destinations including Islamabad and other cities. The new fares will come into effect from today, the spokesperson had said.
PIA has been downgraded:
PIA has been downgraded to a one-star from six-star airline by AirlineRatings.com after the recent revelation of 150 fake pilot licences.
The European Union (EU) has now banned the airline from Europe — costing one-star, while AirlineRatings.com has stripped the airline of its three-stars for the IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) as well as the one-star for the ICAO country audit.
The rating downgrade to the lowest safety standards could further dent PIA’s business because customers will avoid travelling through it while other countries may close their airports for Pakistan’s national carrier.
