I hope new airline companies help in curbing the current practices of the cartel (PIA, Airblue and Shaheen Airlines). Instead of becoming the part of exploiting consumers, new airlines showuld increase the competition among the airlines.
Recommend
How much is their ticket from Karachi to Lahore (fare plus taxes)? Does the company have a sustainable business model? Will it charge or be forced to charge PIA equivalent fares or will they introduce competition in the domestic airline. Domestic passengers are being fleeced to support PIA.Recommend
I would like congretulate managment of Bhoja Air for restartup.I hope will compete the market in Pakistan and later in Middleast near future.It should not down priced but provide on ground/on board good service.It should compete long haul meal fre night service with only 20pct profit base.
Recommend
Their fares currently are Rs 7000 one way from Karachi to Lahore, so that’s not bad at all. Cheaper than Shaheen even. I hope they stay low so that others are forced to reduce their prices as well.
Recommend
I trust that any passengers who had paid for Bhoja Air tickets but not availed them have been compensated.
