ISLAMABAD – It seems like the national flag carrier of Pakistan is striving hard to re-gain its lost glory as multiple incidents in past have helped portray it in a favourable light.
Pakistan International Airlines that is accused of dismal performing in a marked contrast to its peers, won the hearts of social media buffs on the eve of Christmas.
The financially-strapped PIA wished the Christian community of the country a Merry Christmas by designing an advert that featured planes cojoined to look like a Christmas tree.

The pictorial greeting uploaded in sub-reddit ‘Adporn’was upvoted by the Reddit community to the top in just a day with a staggering 602 votes and still counting.

Apart from the greeting, PIA took the Christmas event to a whole new level this year as it distributed gifts among the passengers of several flights during the “holly jolly” flight prior to December 25th.
