PIA fares

Published July 28, 2014

PIA has increased its economy class fares by over 60pc for travel between Karachi and upcountry (Lahore, Islamabad, etc) for the upcoming Eid season.

I wonder why we blame the traders and retailers for fleecing consumers during Ramazan and Eid season when our very own national airline, which is operated by our elected government, is doing the same.
