According to the notification issued to PSX by the company, the top-line earnings decreased by 15.29% to Rs. 4.9 billion due to drop in load factor. However, the decline in cost of sales by 30% helped in lifting the gross profits by 37%.

Even though the finance costs surged considerably by 80%, the company’s overall result for the period turned out to be prolific.
