[edit] Airline eliminated all intermediate stops on flights to the United States?

Salam guys, it seems no one has added any comments here before, so I'll be the first to leave my words of wisdom here :D I'm removing the following line from the "History" section: "In 1999 the airline eliminated all intermediate stops on flights to the United States, hoping to attract more North American passengers."

All flights to USA take at least one stop (mostly Manchester, probably all stops between Pakistan and USA are at Manchester). Please do your homework before posting anything :) Waqas.usman 12:28, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

This is true.The stops done for security purposes due to American government concerns.American security intelligence services want to identify all passengers before they enter the USA.Nadirali 04:25, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Adding Airline Infobox

I've just added infobox, and therefore had to move the two jumbo pics downward. Waqas.usman 15:18, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Manchester International Airport

Does Manchester International Airport (MAN) really deserve to be a focus city? Just becuase it offers flights there, doesn't really mean it's a focus city. -- Kilo-Lima 16:30, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

Except for the fact it's the via point between Pakistan and the US[1]. As you can see from the link, the airport gets 37 flights per week, compared to 10 at LHR, 5 at STN and 5 at FRA. If you compare to another of PIA's focus cities Peshawar, the numbers (45) are fairly similar. Just my two cents DannyM 14:21, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Major re-organization of the article

I have reorganized the article because under the heading [The 21st Century] a lot of stuff was posted over the time without much organization.

I have separated "The 21st Century" from "History" and pasted it as the main heading. Also combined the 777 orders related paragraphs together, and created the following sub-headings: 2.1 Boeing 777 Orders

2.2 French ATR to Replace Fokker

2.3 All-Female Cockpit Crew Flight

2.4 777 "C" Check Overhaul at Ispahani

2.5 Delivery of the Worldliner 777-200LR

I've thought over the sub-headings and revised some of them a few times, please update any of these if you have more appropriate sub-headings. Waqas.usman 16:54, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pakistan International Airlines destinations

All the domestic and international destinations of Pakistan International Airlines are located at Pakistan International Airlines destinations. Please do not add destinations on the main PIA page.
