People are avoiding to fly PIA and it is beginning to hurt now. Soon PIA will be no more. No passengers, no airline

PIA is going through sheer losses. The discounted rates on all sectors wherever PIA operates whether on international or domestic routes should be announced until pandemic is completely eradicated from the country Once the pandemic will be over than PIA can increase its fares depending on the load on such sectors where PIA flights are over booked by the inbound and outbound passengers. Hope PIA will give due consideration on my humble suggestion which is given in view of present PIA condition.
