In the 1970s, Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) achieved an impressive feat by operating 762 flights per week to 62 cities across four continents. Their fleet of modern aircraft, including B 747s, DC 10s, A-300s, and 707s, ensured a seamless and extensive worldwide network, with planes taking off or landing every six minutes.
PIA’s esteemed engineering base, one of the best in Asia, played a significant role in maintaining their planes in top condition. Their strict operational and technical standards allowed them to achieve such remarkable quality and activity, earning them admiration and recognition from 44 other airlines and agencies. These organizations sent their personnel to PIA for training, acknowledging the airline’s excellence and expertise.
PIA was not just a national flag carrier; it gained global respect as a strong competitor in the airline industry worldwide.
