bigflesh Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Steady growth continues at DSA... "From the ROUTES airlines/airports conference in Dubai Sunday afternoon is that Pakistan’s second airline Shaheen Air is to introduce a four times weekly service from Robin Hood Doncaster Airport to Pakistan “later this year”. The airline will use a two-class Boeing 767 for the operation, and also plans to continue the flight on to Toronto in 2007. Mohammed Jalil, operations director, Shaheen Air, explained that the airline, established in 1991, is profitable and has now only a small government holding. It currently flies to five domestic and six international destinations in The Gulf and carried 0.5m passengers in 2005. Neil Pakey, CEO of Doncaster owner Peel Airports, said that the £120m project has been a great success with 840,000 passengers in the first year." http://www.shaheenair.com/sai1/home.php http://www.abtn.co.uk/thisweek.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
