PIA deal with turkish airlines
salam about PIA deal
I think PIA are trying to cut costs on flights and i think its good for PIA to cut costs on loss making routes.
They should similar deals eastwards of dubai/abu dhabi/qatar with a middle east airline and similar deal with people get one of these airlines that operate out of dubai/abu dhabi/qatar and turkish airlines to do a deal with a us carrier.
The other thing they should bulk buy planes together turkish airlines, any of middle airline and the asian group that pia are part of at the moment.
By doing this pia can lower costs of new planes.
The danger PIA faces is that it will not be able to operate cities that have large pakistan populations like new york for new jersey and PIA customers go elsewhere to other airlines as they think PIA have gone out of business.
I strongly suggest that keep a PIA plane their profitable flight time from new york and chicago and link the two cities together on a flight path by london heathrow to pakistan based on one of the routes for once of a week. So a route of chicago based on new york most popular PIA flight time going through london heathrow and then on to pakistan to help make sure people know PIA is still around. I think this will make the most money.
In reality it means lower fares for PIA passengers as turkish airlines have low costs and flights wont fly empty as much as before.
I have piac.com.pk and turkish airlines website and seen the fares are now very similar to each other.
The good news is the break down of fare prices so you can go business class to pakistan and come back economy class to london or other cities so that you spend lots of money in pakistan while on holiday. The fare is same as fare previously on PIA for economy seats.
I personally think the airline PIA should lower business fare to book up the front of the airline to less 400 pounds to get people to fly business class instead of economy, more money for same number of people just slightly more money for a business class seat than economy which is an unique selling point. The profit per flight rises and maybe economy prices can go lower and therefore more people book seats more with PIA.
thanks
