Every company in Pakistan should announce its annual profit publically. Also number of employees like other international companies do.
i think enough is said in above posts... even to comment in such flimsy made up numbers is wastage of time for all of us. This airline is broken and on its way down the drain just like rest of the economy. Why bother..
Increase in sales by itself means nothing (considering airfares just keep on going up). What about profit and losses? What is the increase or decrease in losses? What is the strategy moving forward? What will be done about the aircrafts which are grounded? Will replacements be bought and if so much will it cost? How is domestic business doing in comparison to international fligh operations?
A typical wishy washy statement with no meaning.
Unless they are cooking numbers, this sounds questionable. Even if they are right, what is the sales growth based on? volume of flights or tickets? unlikely since significant part of the fleet was grounded. That means, most likely they are referring to increase in revenues, which combined together with lower operating capacity means they were significantly over-charging customers. This means the flip side of this temporary growth will show up in the coming years when loyal customers start looking elsewhere for cheaper alternatives with better quality.
