Due to intense competition from regional airlines and some capacity limitations on account of EU action, PIA's share of the international market segment declined to 46%, which is 3% less than last year. To deal with the financial loss situation, the Management has urgently undertaken many steps to improve the operating and financial performance of the airline. It has put together a revised operating plan for the Jul-Dec-07 period. This entails shutting down of loss making routes, enhancement of airfares and curtailment of operating costs.
