Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) recently launched a mobile application for Android that specifically seeks feedback from flyers.

The app, named 'Friends of PIA,' allows users to rate their experience with the national carrier at any stage.

After registering for the first time, users can only proceed to rate the services once they enter their flight details.
