PIA fares raised



KARACHIPIA travellers will have to pay more fare due to an increase in the fuel surcharge owing to soaring oil prices.
The travellers will have to pay $40 more for one-way ticket to USA and Canada under the fuel surcharge head with immediate effect. For European destinations, including Britain the increase is $20 while $10 will be charged for the Middle East, India and Far East countries.
However, no addition has been made on tickets for Umrah. Domestic flyers will have to fork out Rs150 to 300 for one-way tickets.
Meanwhile, private air carrier Airblue has decided to do away with Business Class in all its domestic and international flights to counter the surging oil prices.
