This is getting stranger. I was listening to the PIA on the radio and it said something about Dubai and I was like WTF. I rang up my mate and he says there having a two hour stop in Dubai. Anyone know why?:confused:

There are older aircraft in the air that don’t have the same problems. I’m not pointing the finger at PIA and saying their maintenance is sub standard, but the number of incidents there have been since the LBA service started does make you wonder what’s going on!

Yeh will if you look at the other older aircrafts, they are owned by richer companies and owners. Good old PIA is owned by the crappy Pakistani govnerment. They really should sell privatise the airline, currently it’s a shambles. However they have bought LBA back to life.

I believe the incident involves a fuel leak but don’t quote me on that! It has to be said, the PIA service seems to have been a catalogue of cockups since it started!

I think thats because their A310-300 are old and outdated (from my own experience). Really need to get some new ones but they don’t have the funding. Which BA would start the LHR-ISB route again, but can’t see that happening for a few hundred years yet lol.

This is the first time i’ve ever done a trip report like this. So don’t be too annoyed if its poor quality:(

Just a update on the trip report I promised. MAN-ISB-LBA

I’m a long way off yet but I’ve getting the videos up on youtube now. I suspect they will all be up by next week.

After that the photos go up on photobucket.

Then the trip report is written, then I will distribute it on various forums including this one.

I’m guessing it will be finished in around two weeks.
