I tried to PM one to you but you can't receive PMs! Contact me directly.
Good news if it is going to 3 pw; they have said that they plan 4 pw asap and daily by the end of Summer (though I can't see that somehow).

Yes I have been to Islamabad twice operating relief flights during the period of the earthquake sponsored by Dhl. It was very busy with relief helicopter flights and large heavy freighters but not many passenger aircraft and the whole atmosphere seemed pretty relaxed so I would not expect a 1 hour delay to be a problem !
Aircraftops -
There was an SAI flight planned out of Luton, which I don't think materialised. The timings were commensurate with the Shaheen plans for Luton-Islamabad, now apparently deferred until March.
Presumably the plan was not cancelled, and may reappear in future weeks.

Three flights a week
Islamabad Flights Increase As Demand Soars
With 3 flights a week to Leeds, and with Luton starting up, how will they find time to Livery up the aircraft, Do you think that they might lease further aircraft until the Livery is complete.
20 February 2008
Shaheen Air International has today announced that their non-stop service to Islamabad from Leeds Bradford Airport will increase from two to three times a week from 07 March. The airline launched the first ever-direct service to Islamabad on 07 February 2008.

The new service is operated by a wide bodied A310 aircraft and has been an exciting addition to the growing range of services available from LBIA and has proved extremely popular with the Yorkshire Pakistani community.

Another forum has got some more details about Shaheen. Apparently their domestic growth between July 06 and June 07 was 'an impressive 604%'. Impressive? Mind boggling is more like it.

Purchasing the A310s would demonstrate a fair degree of commitment. Despite the punctuality issue, it appears that the operation has got off to a reasonable start and is very good for LBA.

Well Done Shaheen!
Looking forward to seeing A310s in your lovely livery. Already hearing really good feedback from Yorkshire customers of their delight at not having to travel to MAN. Think the service will only get more popular as word spreads. (My local fast food guy is already booked).

It is bad enough for the passangers when flights are delayed, but i feel sorry for the Pilots and crew staff, an 8 hour flight in to LBA 5 hours on the ground and then a further 8 hours to fly back to ISB, i wouldn't imagin that they have a crew turn around, but i could be wrong..are there any laws on flying times, like there are with HGV's

Runway 32/14,
Maximum crew hours are approx 14hrs based on the time they report for duty and amount of landings. 14hrs is normally a report time between 0700 and 1100 local at point of departure and a maximum of 2 landings. Anytime after 1100 and more than 2 landings the duty time reduces accordingly. They can exceed duty in unforeseen circumstances and at the Captains discretion but it is not common practice.
There will definately be a crew change in LBA on this service.
