Well, I do hope
that the fares are within the budget range of a common man. Just the
other day I was discussing with my mother how PIA is taking
advantage of the monopoly it enjoys regarding Chitral flights. Let
us see if the air fares come down with this new development. But in
a country where bananas now cost Rs.400 per dozen, it might just be
wishful thinking. -- Zeenat Khan, Islamabad
