No Comments »PIA Flights :: PIA Launches Revenue Management System
May 16th, 2011 Ontime Travel In the past few years, most leading airlines of the world have adopted a specialized automated system called the Revenue Management System (RMS) to manage fares offered to their customers. PIA, keeping abreast with the latest technological changes has decided to adopt this model. Following its successful trial that started in June 2007 at a number of stations, PIA is pleased to announce the formal launch of Revenue Management System on its domestic and international routes.
RMS is a fairly simple computer based module that links varying fare levels to the available seat capacity of the aircraft in accordance with the assessed demand, mutually benefiting the customer and PIA. Customers who would previously get only one standard fare for a traveling class of their choice can now plan their travel well in advance and purchase their tickets at greatly discounted rates. The RMS has been programmed in such a way that it offers 5 different fares for Economy, 3 for Economy Plus and 4 for Business Class. The cheaper fares get taken up by those who book their seats early and immediately purchase their tickets. In effect, the earlier one buys…the cheaper one flies. Some of these new fares at times are even lesser than the fares charged under the previous standby facility for which the customers were required to queue up at the airport, a couple of hours prior to flight departure. This new system of flexible pricing would particularly benefit the price-sensitive customers, as they can purchase in advance and enjoy reduced fares, which gradually increase as the flight approaches close to the departure date. Price sensitive customers can also benefit if they plan their trip during the lean travel season when many more low priced seats will be available.
In brief, the Revenue Management System creates a win-win situation for both the customer and PIA. Now fewer people would be paying more, and more people will be paying less to fly to their desired destination…thanks to PIA’s Revenue Management System.

PIA cancels seven more flights
April 18th, 2010 Ontime Travel Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) on Saturday suspended seven more flights to Europe and the United States of America, as international air traffic remained disrupted for the third consecutive day because of dangerous ash cloud hovering over some European countries, said a statement issued by the national flag carrier on Saturday.
The return flights on Islamabad-Copenhagen-Oslo, Islamabad-Birmingham, Islamabad-London, Islamabad-Leads, Lahore-Glasgow, Lahore-London and Lahore-Manchester-New York routes were cancelled, it said. Five return flights, scheduled for Sunday, have also been cancelled, it said.
A special task force, headed by Aijaz Haroon, Managing Director, is making efforts to resolve the problem arising out of cancellation of 32 flights since Thursday, when a volcanic eruption in Iceland sent fumes in the atmosphere.
The restriction on flights is expected to remain in place till next Wednesday, said the statement.
Around 6,000 passengers of the national flag carrier, across the country and abroad, have been affected due to cancellation of flights. Out of these, around 400 passengers are stranded in European cities, it said.
According to an estimate, PIA has suffered a revenue loss of around Rs500 million or $6 million during the last three days.
