FitsAir is listing Lahore on its website, but the booking is not available when i tried dummy booking. Is Lahore definitely happening from 20 Jan?
I also see Kochi on Fitsair website. Is Kochi also to be added as a new destination for Fitsair?
Seems Fitsair is going to reduce flights to Kuala Lumpur from 4 weekly to 3 weekly. Any reason for reduction in frequencies?Leave a comment:

I guess they are looking for A320ceo Jets as a replacement for aging A320ceos (ABL, MRE, ABM), I guess also UL will not acquire A321ceos, since they are looking for older A320 replacements, and Will not acquire A320/321neo jets since still due to higher demand of engine components for 25X (CFM Leap engine option) series and 4R-ANE is still AOG.Leave a comment:
