Continuing with its earthquake relief operation PIA has, exactly one month since the disaster hit Azad Kashmir, Northern Areas and NWFP, lifted 1467 tons of relief supplies from its domestic and international network.

PIA carried 517 tons on its international scheduled flights and 436 tons on international charter flights on the global network.

The airline transported 400 tons on its domestic scheduled flights besides 114 tons of relief supplies which were on international transit and were lifted from Karachi on Domestic Charter Flights raising the total tonnage lifted to 1467 tons.

Now since the relief operation has converted into rehabilitation work, PIA will henceforth carry bulk cargo on dedicated charter flights.
