The report doesn't make it clear which airport in Pakistan. Looking at the PIA schedules it will almost certainly be KHI via ISB and/or LHE. They only offer low frequencies on many European routes and they are always combinations finishing at KHI. JFK is served via MAN and ORD is served via BHX. They are adding Houston so I would not be at all surprised if they flew KHI-ISB-GLA-IAH or even KHI-ISB-OSL-GLA-IAH. It would be great if they had the pax rights for GLA-OSL and IAH! They are no stranger to these multi-sector flights. I would only expect 2-3 flights per week. Back to top G-KRIS Guest Posted: Sun Nov 23, 2003 8:26 pm    Post subject: Re: GLA- Karachi.

Clive, do you think tm wilson was maybe trying to get them to come to PIK and after they were announced he said where they would operate from Glasgow in a sigh of dissapointment.)

Cheers Kris Dont know Kris, but Mr Wilson does a very good job at PIK, it has too be said. No doubt in for a big bonus, thats if they actually have any money left over after giving a lot of discounts. I still think that airlines will have too seriously think twice about starting EU routes from PIK due to Ryanair and their expansion of the site. I am just waiting for the day when Easyjet have the balls too go head too head with Ryanair and have more EU flights from GLA. Ryanair has proven that there is certainly demand for lo-cost flights and I certainly use them too full advantage when going on business trips (who would not when saving a lot of money). regards John Back to top ian Guest Posted: Sun Nov 23, 2003 11:20 pm    Post subject: Re: GLA- Karachi.

They certainly are no strager to multi-sectors! I don't know where it was, but I remeber reading something reasonably recently that sid that most Pakistanis in Scotland originate from the area around Lahore, so mybe this will be the most likely primary destination, although as you say most flights seem to end up in Karachi at some point! As far as IAH goes, I think it said in one of the articles that that wouldn't start till June which doesn't tie-in with the GLA start date. I think PIA are getting at least one 777LR, so one of their US routes might go non-stop??? - maybe IAH? As far as pax rights for Euro sectors go, I think when they started their BHX ops they flew via CPH, but I don't think they had pax rights for BHX-CPH? I guess we'll have to wait and see. Here's hoping for a 747!!!:) Back to top Clive Braham Guest Posted: Sun Nov 23, 2003 11:52 pm    Post subject: Re: GLA- Karachi.

Quote: As far as pax rights for Euro sectors go, I think when they started their BHX ops they flew via CPH, but I don't think they had pax rights for BHX-CPH? Dunno about the Euro sectors but they do have the rights for UK-USA. Colin would know about the BHX-CPH flights. Quote: I guess we'll have to wait and see. Here's hoping for a 747!!! Well it would depend if it's going on to the US. Otherwise it'll be the A310. Back to top G-KRIS Guest Posted: Mon Nov 24, 2003 4:08 pm    Post subject: Re: GLA- Karachi.

Here is what one chap on Airliners.net thinks: "PIA is too starting GLA from April from KHI via LHE and ISB (once a week each)...from KHI twice a week...most likely flights will be nonstop using A 310-300s. However no official route has been released but my guess is : KHI-LHE-GLA 1x weekly A 313 KHI-ISB-GLA 1x weekly A 313" Clive Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         AirTalk.org Forum Index -> Glasgow Airport All times are GMT Goto page 1, 2  Next Page 1 of 2   Jump to: Select a forum Aviation----------------alt.aviationAviation safety EnhancementPlanes, gliders and flying in AustraliaAviation et pilotage (Français)rec.aviationAviation (Aerobatics)Hot air, gas balloons and airshipsHang-gliding, paragliding, foot-launched flightAircraft Design & BuildingInstrument Flight RulesAviation (Classifieds)Military AircraftNaval AviationAviation (Miscellaneous Topics)Owning AirplanesAviators (General Discussions)Aviation related productsAircraft RestorationHelicopters and rotary wing aircraftsFlight SimulationSailplanesAviation (Students)Light aircraftFlying related activities in the UK Airports----------------alt.airportsEdinburgh Airport Glasgow Airport Humberside Airport Luton Airport Aberdeen Airport Glasgow Prestwick Airport  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2006 phpBB Group SEO toolkit © 2004-2006 webmedic.
