Apparently an ad published in the French magazine "Le Point" 19th of March 1979…
Is it a real ad or a hoax?
VIA PIA
New York via Pakistan International. One of the companies offering scheduled flights to New York. Departure from Orly Sud, offering best flights to the cities in provinces. A new proof of PIA’s efficacy. PIA is an international company expanding business successfully: 3 000 000 passengers this year, a departure every 6 minutes. Success thoroughly built on customers’ satisfaction. For having an excellent flight to New York or 60 other metropolises in the world travel via PIA.

Bravo pour tes albums photos.
J’ai tout particulièrement craqué sur l’Afrique bien sûr, mais elles sont toutes belles et font rêver…
This is certainly a framed show, as the following points so betray:
1. The ad is in French and it is ‘causing stir’ in USA, which most probably is the country from where it has been ‘launched’.
2. No airline takes ‘16 hours and 30 minutes’ to reach from any airfield in France including Parisian ‘Orly’, whereas the ad is ‘proudly announcing this feat’. The ad conveys ‘negative incentive’ for travellers.
3. While the entire ad is in French, the caption of PIA with Urdu is in English, indicating that this part has been lifted from somewhere else as it common in PIA stationary.
4. There would be many more such ‘glaring’ obviousness’, some of which may be found by those who know French.
Stupid try which would dupe only simpletons.
