After a massive increase in air fares by the Pakistan International Airline (PIA), passengers have started to book their ticket on other carriers. Travel agents indicate that Air Blue has already increased its fare while Shaheen Air is ready to follow suit.
Talking to Pakistan Today, Travel Agents Association of Pakistan (TAAP) Regional Chairman Dr Muhammad Sharif Khan said it seemed people would shortly start traveling “on camels and horses” as train service in the country has already come to a halt and now the national flag carrier was trying to close operations.
