Pakistan International Airlines announced last month that it would be scaling back its operations as unpaid bills and overdue payments rack up.
When he learned that Pakistan International Airlines is facing a cash crunch, Edmontonian Shakil Meenai's first instinct was to check the status of his domestic flight from Lahore to Karachi.
"This was done without my consent and without any sort of intimation to me," Meenai told CBC in an interview. "Other airlines, if the flight schedule changes by 10 or 15 minutes, even in those cases they give you a heads-up." This time of year is peak travel season for Canadians wanting to visit family and friends in Pakistan. Weather is generally favourable and it's also prime wedding season.
"The only people who fly internationally with PIA, especially from Canada, are those who are basically either not comfortable in transiting through other countries or our seniors," Meenai said.A look at compensation, accommodation and who gets it when flights are disrupted "When I look at the root cause of these scenarios and the big picture of their financial situation, I don't see any prospect in the near future that this will be resolved," he said."Maybe that will be the solution so that they always find a balance between the budget so that they don't end up in this situation," he said.
