- For the first time ever and with unprecedented access #InsidePIA takes you behind the scenes of Pakistan International Airlines
Dedicated to the people of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. Narrated by Joseph Hayat.
The most polite, kind, generous, and sympathetic airline staff in the entire world. They were kind to me from the beginning when I checked in at Karachi Airport, during my flight to Dhaka. I have flown 7 times between Karachi and Dhaka; each time I experienced the same positive care from PIA who even tolerated the uneducated and outright rude Bangladeshi passengers who are just nasty. Keep up the good work, PIA!
I hope PIA gets back on their feet. The airline itself has been lacking in quality lately (being rated a 2 star airline) but the staff are very hospitable and proud to represent their airline and country.
I had a flight to Toronto with first leg from Multan to Karachi in PIA and the remaining with Emirates. When I arrived on the airport, there was a long line of passengers on the gate. I took the chance to go to wash room. Returned within 3 minutes and when I presented myself at the boarding counter, they told me that their ATR plane is already full. They said there are 72 seats and we already have 73 passengers on board with someone also sitting on the jumper seat (don't know what is a jumper seat). I told them that I may loose my 2000 dollars Emirates ticket if I don't make it to Karachi and the fact that I have booked PIA flight a month ago. Nobody helped instead they said I should talk to my ticketing agent.
I have flown on many international routes/airlines in past 12 years but never had a chance to fly with PIA. At my first attempt they proved to me that I am not great enough to fly with them. Wonderful PIA, wonderful Pakistan. Keep going, Shabash!
That's kind of common in every airline
Sorry to hear that. I'm wondering if you had a confirmed and fully paid ticket or it was just a booking ?
Should have booked emirates to Multan
Over booking is an accepted practice. It happens so often here in US and Canada and u see angry PAX at counters. I always pay extra to select the seat and checkin online 24 hours prior. Unfortunately this is not available for PIA, still living in the 80s, i guess.😢
@@nordicwolf8808 Wrong. A passenger with a confirmed ticket can only be requested to give up his seat. Those requests are sweetened with free hotel stays and rebates. Customers have rights in other countries !
I have been flying PIA since 1972. I have seen the entire journey of PIA. I sincerely hope that PIA becomes a commercial airliner, hungry to compete in global marketplace. PIA has such a huge potential for growth, and for that, it needs to transform in to a customer centric airline. If PIA can manage its way to growth, and get rid of losses and avoid redundancy, and turn into an AGILE organization, then I see a great future for an airline that was instrumental in forming Emirates Airlines.
Hope never
You must be affiliated to them that's why you say it
Crap airline and airports run by thief's
It looks like more of a PIA commercial than a documentary.
Britiy Muslim doing a favour for a bankrupt BROTHER.
@@maravanmanoj Haha.
@@maravanmanojHindu 😅
As I firmly believe that Pakistani Nation have extraordinary potential,talent & already acknowledged. We proved ourselves at National as International levels. But we must be optimistic, patience, broad minded & firm control on nerves. This is the real experience of my life. Always keep yourself learner for your coming challenges, and then the outstanding acknowledgement title will be yours
The head chef 🤣 killed with his English
@4:10 He dug in the same spoon in biryani which he used to eat omlete a few seconds before 😐
HAHAHAHA
I noticed that too bloody double dipper 😅
I refused in 2017 as a executive Chef 👨🍳 just the old dated kitchen. But the food taste and quality is too high .. no doubt, but this chef let us down 😢
I noticed that too...food hygiene must be improved.
Please check again carefully before blames to anyone.
PIA need a Major reforms, from buildings to human resources. Finished this glimps and build up new system required billions of dollars 💸
Live long and strong Pia with its fleet n all staff at all levels... all Pakistanis Should travel on this great Flag carrier❤
Did that chef use the same spoon on the rice that he used to taste the omelet?
MASHALLAH
great people to fly with Pia
The more I hear InshaAllah, Alhamdullilah for every single smallest thing. I feel Allah is going away from these people.
Guys do the job and let Allah take the backseat.
Really facilities are so basic and looks like little has changed since the 1980's.
I have been to this kitchen, its too old dated kitchen i was invited to work as Executive chef . I declined the offer in 2017 . The PIA need lots of reform ..😢
What precautionary measures are in place by the civil aviation authority against the birds flying in the path of planes taking off and landing at Pakistan airports please pay attention as matter of urgency before tragic accidents take place...
Love PIA, Love Pakistan
Well done to PIA.
PIA can get to top notch national airline..But they need to invest dedication and resources to start slowly overhaul their entire operation model and modernize their infra structure
From ticketing to baggage claim, and everything in between is broken at PIA. PIA's direct flights are often more trouble than indirect flights of reputed airlines. PIA only makes sense if one is seeking adventure or someone else is paying for the ticket.

So true
25:56 for an overstay, you gotta either pay the overstay fine or, the less expensive method, get a nicop issued. For a nicop you need to be a dual citizen of Pakistan. Nicop can be issued by nadra domestically or by Pakistan's mission overseas. Nicop will cost you about $200-300 and you will never need to get a visa again for Pakistan and therefore no overstay issue.
Someone noticed the chef used the same spoon for the biryani
I think he grabbed a 2nd disposable spoon
Great job done by the chef! I shall say so called executive chef. He first had a taste on omelette and right after with the same spoon he just started digging in to biryani. Is that what they call standards?
Yes, I have seen the way he used same spoon 🥄. I had offer from PIA but I refused as Food and skills are very good, but the kitchen infrastructure is out dated now .
PIA is still working higher than pakistans standards
As a Pakistani i can confirm that with the current government this is true
@@EMirza101 the older government gave a boost to it's decline too
I remember that scrape and go crash at Karachi and I remember yet another flight attendant has jumped ship in Canada..
This is a terrific documentary; hopefully PIA will get re-launch and new strategy. I read somewhere that about 35% of PIA's international passenger traffic was to/from Europe so the potential is there. PIA will longer term need to consider the replacement of the Boeing 777 by 2028 and hopefully PIA will acquire the 787 (or A350)
the corruption has left the hard product in shambles but the inflight crew has been amazing, I flew last year and my premium economy seat was broken, but the crew would literally come and put the seat in the position I wanted. the FA are literally the life line of Pakistan,.
Great people to fly with 😂
This is depressing and dont get me started on that catering facility.
There's a lot to be improved. The kitchen is not clean, flight crew training was lacking, engineering appeared to be fine but why such a bad safety record, and a lot of self appraisal does not appear to be true.
Good insite to see pip airlines i hope pip can be a top airline in the future as they desve it after there history of helping emrites airline Become what it has - i did get a sense from this documentary that they seem to be interested in making money from the haed people its not tje Way to go about things if you provide a amazing service and geat food and crew and your airline can be on top for safety then you will make money pip still has a long way to go but like i sed i pry they can be one of the best as they deserve it,
Long time ago No 2 Airlines of southasia is ruined by time, very pity.
So the smoke and evacuation drill assumed average pax count on a PIA flight is about 20. try doing it with 300 pax.
I literally had to look away as the gentleman was talking loudly with his mouth full over a dozen cooked omelettes presumably ready to be served to passengers.
No thank you.
Lumber 1 chef.
@@maravanmanoj😂😂😂😂😂😂
I can't quite understand why they haven't been allowed to fly through Europe again its been 7 months from this video
Lobe spices.😅😂 hospitalist of PIA.😅
Travelled on BGZ multiple time Toronto to Lahore flight
Don’t know why Canadian girl who overstayed without valid visa argued
❤
This Khatak is reading from a Board.
PIA was already. ukked by emirates or ....
Now with airIndia getting new planes and become a world class airline i don't see pia getting any close
India has much bigger market considering it's huge population
Airline kitchen can do with a revamp, poor lighting does not show the work Tops could do with a wipe, considering that cams have been permitted in kitchen. The Chef over rating the omelette requires retraining as a matter of urgency. Cross contaminating on Cam using the same egg fork in biryani when stirring glad he did change when tasting, but damage was done. Those prepped dishes need to be in a blast chiller and should only plate individually once all components ready. Not rocket science.
PIA is very gentle airline but International players always play politics though it has complete trained all crew n infrastructure
👍
Patwari airliner. Look at the "yes sir" mind! Unhygenic kitchen and bad costumer service.
It's sad how much blame PIA staff take. Many of the passengers here are just too self-entitled and need to learn rules & regulations apply to everyone.
No offense to anyone here, but the airport terminals, kitchens, facilities look so dated like those in the 70s and 80s.
Kitchen looks dirty no gloves
Women ☕️ 😂😂😂
60 + aunties and uncles still working mash Allah PIA zanda abad😂
PIA! Get outa here
British Muslim tv😂😅😅😆😆😆
Rest In Peace Pakistani English 😂😅😂😅😂😅
It's just a way to communicate......
punjab mess PIA and all pakistan . now i want to see how will they even survive
He forgot to mention the next level of smuggling PIA staff dose. iPhones , cigarettes etc etc this is a commercial not a documentary.
The girls should be between the ages of 18 and 30. Not more than that!
These ones are old.
This is pia but like 1970s style not 2023 fasilaty airline.😢😢😢
Felt like watching 36 minutes of fake news!
800 pilots for 30 aircrafts 👎
As a Pakistani its a worst airline tbh
What don’t you like about it?
This is a horrible airline - the only plus side ever was it flew direct so lazy entitled mothers could travel with their 15 kids. They only real people to suffer the lack of direct flight were the elderly.
What Ayub Khan started in early 1960's, has been destroyed by Sindhis and Punjabis(mainly)!
Indian Mohajirs and Sindhi's have destroyed PIA.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The commentator is funny ! evening rush hour ! there is 1 aircraft visible. The kitchen is so dirty! yuck. ewwwwww .
aged, broken stinking cabin of aircrafts with outdated ground systems no thank you PIA
absolutely it's a big bullshit and just to show off they had such scandis that they shouldn't even fly. first scandal to have false licenses even pious experts and veterans what are we talking about the staff is the rudest and for this reason the European banned PIA for having pilots not with the license but also because their staff members made them do this I want to have new aircraft and well I can't because the price is high and the competition on the international market is very strong. my advice if I feel like PIA made like flydubai using only B737s they go from European to Arab emigrants and then all other destinations and as many airlines do it is not necessary to lose a new plane even second hand they are fine just take qualified pilots and not wads of money I have other things I know how aviation works especially in Pakistan so these videos only make you vomit now you have ruined your reputation
Khatmaal (Bad Bug) was there on the seat of PIA --- I was flying from Karachi to Riyadh (one of the worlds Worst Airline)
Worst airlines
Ive done 40 plus flights with pia food was not good in flight crew terrible planes very old
landing take off best in world.
