Pakistan International Airlines (PIA), the national flag-carrier, has launched an application to facilitate passengers in online reservation and confirmation of seats through mobile phones.
"The application has recently been launched and now the air passengers will enjoy better services," a PIA spokesman told APP on Tuesday.
He said a number of initiatives had been taken to improve efficiency of the PIA, which has started yielding required results, especially after effective tackling of the seat-factor. "The airliner's overall seat factor has improved and reached nearly 84 percent whereas on some sectors, the seat factor is at 90 percent," he said.
The PIA aircraft have been made operational and now all Boeing 777s and A320s were operational.
He said the airlines was now moving on the right track without any outer influence and pressure; adding the PIA had tremendous potential to rise for which concerted efforts were underway to transform the national flag-carrier into a more viable and profit-earning entity.
He said significant improvement was evident in different indicators like seat occupancy ratio, aircraft utilization, cargo load factor and customer service. He said in the recent days, the PIA had also signed an agreement with a private online taxi service to facilitate passengers.
