At the time of the accident the airline operated seven aircraft, all in the A320 family. The aircraft that crashed was an Airbus A321-231, registered AP-BJB,[9] manufacturer's serial number 1218, which was built in 2000. This was the first fatal crash for the A321, and the second hull-loss of the type.[10] The aircraft had originally been delivered to Aero Lloyd and used by Aero Flight before being taken up by Airblue in 2006.[11] It had accumulated approximately 34,000 flight hours in some 13,500 flights.[12] Accident The flight left Karachi at 07:50 local time (01:50 UTC).[1] Initial reports suggested that flight controllers at Benazir Bhutto International Airport lost contact with the aircraft at 09:43 local time (03:43 UTC) [5] after they delayed its landing 13 minutes earlier.[3] It was reported that the poor weather had forced controllers to divert another aircraft attempting to land 30 minutes before the crash.[13] While the BBC reported that officials stated that "there was nothing in conversations between the pilot and the Islamabad control tower that suggests anything was wrong",[1] The New York Times gave an account of communications between the aircraft and the ground that indicated otherwise. The newspaper claimed that the pilots were warned that they were flying away from the runway, to which the pilot responded “I can see the runway”.[13] The controller then told the flight crew to “immediately turn left, Margalla [Hills] are ahead”, before the pilot again replied “we can see it”. [13] An airline official stated that the pilots did not send any emergency signals prior to the crash.[14] Pakistani Interior Minister Rehman Malik stated that the plane was at 2,600 feet as it approached Islamabad but went back up to 3,000 feet before eventually crashing.[15] One witness on the ground, who was out walking, stated that "the plane had lost balance, and then we saw it going down".[7] Others described the plane as being lower than it should have been. "I wondered why the plane wasn't flying higher as it was flying towards the hill", one stated. "Then within three or four minutes I heard a loud explosion". Another said that "it was raining. I saw the plane flying very low from the window of my office".[1] Imran Abbasi told The New York Times that he "could tell it was trouble because it stayed so low even though the mountains were up ahead". He stated that the jet was "flying as low as a four-story building".[13] It was reported that Mr. Abbasi said that "as the aircraft started to turn, the right side of its front banged into the highest mountain, emitting an instant billow of blue fire and black smoke".[13] An Indian television station stated that a woman told them she didn't "think [the flight crew] could see where they were going".[citation needed] The plane was found near Daman-e-Koh viewing point in the Margalla Hills outside Islamabad.[16] The Los Angeles Times reported that "television footage of the crash site showed smoke and burning debris strewn in a swathe cutting through the forest. Rescue helicopters hovered overhead. Fire was visible, and smoke was blowing up from the scene."[7] The weather conditions before the accident, as detailed by the 03:00 UTC METAR (aviation routine weather observation message) report for Benazir Bhutto International Airport, were as follows: Wind from 50° (approximately north east) at 16 knots (30 km/h). Visibility 2 kilometres (1.2 mi), rain, few clouds at 1,500 feet (460 m), few clouds at 3,000 feet (910 m) with towering cumulus. Scattered clouds at 4,000 feet (1,200 m), broken clouds at 10,000 feet (3,000 m). Temperature 24°C, dewpoint 23°C. QNH 1006.5 hPa. [9]A Passengers and crew Early reports in the morning had stated that there were over 40 injured survivors, later revised at around midday to around five to six people having been rescued, before Interior Minister Rehman Malik confirmed in the afternoon that there were in fact no survivors.[17] A Pakistani female footballer Misha Dawood, 19, of Diya Football Club, Karachi[18] and former national athlete Zafar Saleem, who is Sindh Workers Welfare Board director general also lost their lives in the plane crash.[19] At the time of the accident, the pilot had 35 years and more than 25,000 hours of flying experience.[17] Of the passengers, 110 were men, 29 were women, 5 were children, and 2 were infants.[15] Six members of the Youth Parliament of Pakistan had been on board.[13] Fatalities Nationality Total Passengers Crew Austria 1 0 1[20] Pakistan 141 6 147 Germany 1[21] 0 1 Somalia 1 0 1[22] United States 2 0 2[14] Total 146 6 152 Rescue attempts A local police official stated that he had reports "that the plane fell into the Margalla Hills. There is smoke, but we have not been able to reach there. It is surrounded by the hills and there is no road access".[23] An army helicopter arrived to survey the crash site at 10:30 local time (04:30 UTC) but was not able to land. All 152 passengers have been confirmed dead; initially there had been conflicting reports about survivors being airlifted to nearby hospitals. However, they were later proven to be wrong.[1] All hospitals in Islamabad were declared in a state of emergency.[16] One person present at the scene of the crash stated that the passengers "are badly mutilated and burnt ... and there are two women among the dead". He told journalists that "a good number of rescue workers have reached the site. Other people have reached here on their own. The plane is totally destroyed. The pieces and parts scattered over a large distance. Some parts of the plane are still burning. Some bushes have been burnt."[1] It was reported that rescuers at the crash site were "digging through the rubble with their bare hands."[1] A senior city government official stated that the rescue operation was "very difficult ... because of the rain. Most of the bodies are charred. We're sending body-bags via helicopters."[1] It was reported, however, that the rescue operation was "chaotic". BBC journalist Zeesha Zafar reported that "there were fewer rescue workers there than one would have expected. A majority of them were members of the anti-terrorism police. Most of them just stood around, gazing at the burning debris, and looking as though there was not much that they could do." He stated that a police officer threatened to baton charge rescuers if they didn't "move quickly".[24] Zafar reported that "just when the rescuers were shuffling to get to work, a policeman in plain clothes announced that an army helicopter was coming in to pour water on the fire, and that everyone should get out of the way. The work stopped. The helicopter came, circled on the spot a couple of times, and went away. No water."[24] Zafar went on that it "was distinctly obvious that there was no co-ordination between the workers of different departments such as the police, the rescue department, the Capital Development Authority and the military ... Rescuers operated in a chaotic manner, scouring through the debris that was not on fire ... During the two hours that I stayed at the scene, I saw rescuers collect three separate loads of body parts which they tied up in shrouds. There was no telling how many people they belonged to."[24] Reaction A statement on Airblue's website stated that "Airblue, with great sadness, announces the loss of flight ED 202 inbound from Karachi to Islamabad. The flight crashed during poor weather and thick fog. We regret the loss of life and are investigating the exact circumstances of this tragedy. This will be presented as soon as possible." The statement continued that "our hearts go out to the families and loved ones of the passengers and crew."[25] Both the Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gillani sent condolences to the family of those who died in the accident.

Page 28 Concept Introduction: Air passes have been used for over three decades by the airline and travel industries to facilitate travel within regions by offering a block of several one-way flights at a discount compared to buying the same flights separately. They are typically sold to tourists from outside the region planning a multi-stop itinerary. By selling a package of flights, often on several airlines, air passes can make travel within a region easier and more affordable, enabling tourists to visit more countries. While their overall track record is mixed, air passes have succeeded in the past at stimulating tourism in several regions, particularly regions that were suffering from high one-way air fares. In recent years one-way air fares have declined significantly in most regions, limiting the appeal of air passes.

The study defined a Cobb–Douglas type of research framework in which the country’s real income level relates to four factor inputs, e.g., employed labor force, logistics development, financial development, and energy consumption in an economy. The study utilized the time series data set for the period 1972–2018. To estimate the long run relationship and short run adjustment mechanism, the study used Johansen’s method of co-integration and error correction model. Estimated results showed that the country’s logistics developments have a significant positive impact on economic growth in both the long run and the short run. It implies that China–Pakistan collaborative efforts for logistics developments will have a strong positive impact on economic growth in Pakistan.

    Asian Breeze (19) (亜細亜の風) Merry Christmas to you 13 December, 2011 Dear Asia/Pacific coordinators and facilitators: We hope everybody is enjoying this wonderful Christmas holiday seasons. Christmas illuminations are everywhere in Tokyo despite the little shortage of electric power. I visited some of the popular Christmas illumination spots last week to take pictures for this issue which are inserted in the last page. Three years have already passed since we started to issue Asian Breeze. Thanks to your cooperation, we have been able to issue it every two months without any interruption and now reached 19 issues. As we are committed to continue issuing the Asian Breeze, we would like to ask your continued support by providing us with your hot news, new topics or new airport developments. Please send us your contribution to “asianbreeze@schedule-coordination.jp”. In this issue, we have received a wonderful contribution from Mr. Tariq Saleem Khan, Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority. Pakistan seems to have many attractive cultural things and Himalaya Mountains as tourist spots. It should be interesting to read. In addition, we have received two articles from two software developers on slot coordination; one is SCORE (Slot Coordination and Reporting) system developed by Prolog Development Center (PDC), the other is airport organizer and slot organizer developed by Gatwick Software Logistics (GSL). For those who are looking for the software for slot allocation and schedule facilitation it might be a very good timing to read those articles. We hope you will find this issue useful. Country of Pakistan Pakistan, officially the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, is a sovereign state in South Asia.
