PIA is set to resume direct flights to the UK by February, according to Defense Minister Khawaja Asif. This announcement comes as part of PIA’s efforts to revitalize its operations and improve its overall value.
In addition to UK routes, the airline plans to expand its services to 19 European cities, including popular destinations like Barcelona and Milan. PIA also aims to introduce flights to the US and Canada, further strengthening its international presence.
This expansion is part of PIA’s strategy to enhance its operations and prepare for privatization. The airline has already taken steps towards recovery, such as resuming flights to Paris after a four-year break.
Currently, PIA is seeking approval from UK aviation authorities to restart its services to key cities, including London, Birmingham, and Manchester. If approved, these routes will provide Pakistani travelers with more convenient and direct flight options.
The move is seen as a positive step forward for PIA, which has faced challenges in recent years. By reintroducing flights to major destinations, the airline hopes to rebuild its reputation and attract more passengers.
Travelers can look forward to more international flight options as PIA works to reconnect Pakistan with the world through expanded routes and improved services.
