A classic PIA advertisement from early 1960s

PIA advertisement from late 1960s showing Pierre Cardin designed air-hostess uniform "In 1966, the most colorful, if not the most significant, happening took place when a new uniform for PIA air-hostesses was designed by the renowned French designer Pierre Cardin. This, more than any other singular factor, imprinted PIA's name on the international market. It took the aviation world by storm. The uniform was an instant hit, both in Pakistan and in the countries visited by PIA airliners" - PIA

PIA advertisement of 1970. Note the stylish uniform of PIA air-hostesses which was designed by the famous French fashion designer Pierre Cardin

As you can see, here too the place of pride on her body is awarded to Pak's time-tested friend and ally ...... China!

thx for sharing i was looking for these
they look nice atleast better then today

Beirut is in Syria, right? and does PIA go there ?

Beirut is in Lebanon!

and you're a dumbass pendhu mullah right? beirut is in lebanon (which is occupied by syria). in the 60's my father said beirut was the 70's Tehran, but when we went today it was A WHOTEHOUSE! In addition eveyrone's so poor I took a $70 taxi to Damascus, when I left there was a new couple trying to get someone else to go with them to some other place, because they didn't have enough money. We came there again a week later, and the same cuople was still standing there! My father gave the taxi man the money and gave the new couple 300 to start them on their new life

i dont get it how cum, the advertisments back than were better than todays PIA advertisments. was pakistan more westernized back in the 60s & 70s?


U'r father is an extreemly generous person its a shame that there aren't as many as generous as him
anway i thought beruite had westernrized itself with clubs,bars,paris-style cafes,late night clubs,posh hotels etc.

Back in the 1960s and 1970s, people used to drink alchahol in public, they carried bottles in busy streets too!

Yeah, I thought Lebanon was a pretty good country in the 80's?

Beirut is still a good place to go, I've been there some time ago, hot chicks but really, its nice.

Yes .... we were a secular NORMAL republic till Bhutto came in 73 and wrote a new constitution and started trading with religion for political gain .... then after him Zia cam and pushed us further back ...

Karachi used to have a casino in the late 60's ... discos and bars were legal ...

people were all religious without being FORCED ...

Then came the "religion-trader" bhutto and then came the Jamatia "Zia" ...

what made things even worser was Afganistan, damn those commies

u'r joking the place was being bombed day an night by the IDF during the 80s, the place was damn war zone

Vision,

I heard a Casino is coming up in Karachi soon... (Again, a Casino)

surprising Pia was at that modern in 1960's.

Gwader should be a nice place, hopefully it'll closed off the villagers, and people with a lot of money and a passport can only enter.

dude these paki hoties makes my d--k stand up!!!!

listen to yourself say those words! God Damn! it's no surprise the Balochis are angry about Gwadar!

Nice!

Just imagine PIA showing that ad now!

The mullahs will be up in flames!

Nice!

Just imagine PIA showing that ad now!

The mullahs will be up in flames!

Man i wish girls still looked like that in Pakistan

what happened to them now ?

thori thori dair main boletee hain abba daikhlai ga

what happened to Karachi?

^^if you take land from me and prohibit me from coming there, do you think that would be logical?
If we have a separatist movement in Balochistan, it's because of this kind of thinking from people like you!

what about Karachi? Karachi isnt what it is because of poor people! Karachi is what it is because people took money away from it and put it in their pockets! Karachi was deprived for decades!
You're gonna talk about poor people in a city, look at NY, Atlanta, LA! Those cities have poor people, but they're not dumps!

Well the PIA is now making profits again..........Man we should get anopther french guy to redesign stufff..............And love the new 777 purchase

Are they planning on doing NY-Karachi direct?

Pakistan was much advance and fun oriented before Zia ... I saw in PAF base Korangi Creek in 1984 the word "TEA" added to "BAR" in the officer's mess.

I too was once upon a time against all these Casino's and stuff .. but after looking at the reality ... you cannot invite foreigner's without giving them this activity ..

Look at Bahrain ... Look at U.A.E. ... Look at Qatar .. everybody has opened up ...

Closing will only mean more peverts ... nothing else.

If you wanna be a Mullah .. you have the right to be .. nobody is there to change you .. the same goes for people who wanna have fun .. they too have their own rights ...

Sorry forgot to thank you ..

Vision .. great find .. never ever seen before !! Thanks for sharing ..

she's probrably 60/70 years old

LOL....However, on the honest note, the one from the 1970s looks really nice, I mean, it looks really moderate, how Islam can permit such things only proves that nowadays we have a bad society.

damn!!!!!!!! never knew PIA was actually respected at any time internationally........lol! anyways i seriously hate the way they're changing round the airline at present. it may be good financially but image-wise there's no image to display at all with 747s and 777s that frankly look like cargo planes and a service that makes u think that maybe trekking by foot all the way to pakistan wouldn't have been that bad afterall.

The good old days....

Man .... my dad sys that in many ways in the 60's Karachi was as good as some of the cities in the west ..... there were trams that worked on time .... no overcrowding ..... you could find parks that were green and had open spaces .... people were FREE and TOLERANT ...

I don't know why .... we seem to be moving backwards instead of forwards!

My dad said that at his time Karachi was virtually "perfect".

i wish i can post the images of attandentd i encounter during Houston Khi flight. They were the ugliest hostess i have ever seen even worse than Biman.

What is KHI???

short for Karachi...its a common term.

mind your language, please. it's good to target an individual rather than generalize. you will find crooks in every technical and non-tech field. so why curse the whole house. now don't say all mullahs are the same and you rightly branded them.

bro, i would say that's good. after all there is a limit to voyerisum, (spelling excused).

still today are free ( to kill) and tolerant ( all the residents, despite so much violence ), the point you are mentioning is gradually rturning.....

lebanon use to be a great country. in early mid fifty many italian moved their businesses to lebanon and built this country. in sixties people use to compare beirut with paris. beutiful bars, night clubs, restaurants, street cafe, hotels and casinos. above all the beirut university had very high ranking in the world. people use to come to beirut for sex and fun including our greatest asshole BINLADIN. than came the civil war in 1975 and destroyed the whole country. now the city is cathing up to revive its past history.

Pakistan was a lot more tolerant back in the 70's. A lot more westernized. A lot of things happened since then for the worse:

1. Bhutto nationalized everything.
2. Zia began using Islam to defend his rule
3. Afghanis refugees came into Karachi bringing their guns, drugs, and backward way of life.
4. Then we had 10 years of complete political chaos.

Hopefully things are getting better. Inshallah. We'll see.
