I have to agree it sounds like sour grapes to me. I think MAN did not expect PIA to start a service direct from LBA and for it to do as well as it is. If we were to get a New York I'm sure that would do well too, as for falling after a year look at BRS dont CO still do the New York from there? Hasn't that been running over a year? Yes MAN would loose some pax as they have on the Islamabad, but PIA still operate from MAN do they not! There is room for these routes from both airports. Don't be too surprised to see a Dubai in the next couple of years either.
