From the official PIA twitter account:
Automatically fires back, looking at the following replies:
If you love us send us your friends; if you hate us send us your enemies! PIA- catering to all your needs!
Automatically fires back, looking at the following replies:
Last year, I flew a 19 hour flight from Toronto to Karachi. My seat cushions was so thin that I could feel metal of the seat frame through them. The media centre did not work. The food was stale. Cute memes don't make up for crappy airplanes & bad service.
Honestly, all these crap memes just piss me off. I’d rather have them post about new training for staff, updating their software, buying new planes, improving their maintenance schedule, cameras to prevent stuff going ‘missing’ from luggage. Anything but this cutesy drivel.
Yes, well, when an international airline is run like a 1960s civil service with a slush fund attached, we can’t expect much better. Pakistan - never failing to put its worst foot forward.
So you won't improve your service and spend more time thinking of these crappy jokes

During an award ceremony held at the Sheraton Brussels Airport Hotel on Monday evening, 26th February 2018, Brussels Airport rewarded its partners and the airlines that distinguished themselves from the others by punctuality, performance, environment, safety and development.
Brussels Airport handed out the Aviation Awards for the 11th time. In addition to the 9 traditional awards, a new ‘logistic provider award’ was handed out for the very first time. Aviation24.be was present at the ceremony to report.

The most cheerful moment was the celebration of long-haul punctuality winner ANA All Nippon Airways

Several European airports affected by snow, e.g. MPL closed but this is understandable as 20-30cm of snow in Montpellier is rather unusual.
