I had an office at PIK when GSM launched flights from PIK and I'm sure there were two 73-3s based there that summer. I had friends fly out to Rome and Malaga and I'm sure there may have also been flights to Nice and Barcelona also. This was during the era of the route development fund and Tranavia to Amsterdam and Germania to Berlin was also in evidence. Anyway that's all history now so better to debate the future than focus on the past
