Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) will resume flights to Europe on January 10 after European Union authorities lifted a four-year ban on the carrier, the company said in a statement on Saturday.
The statement from PIA, which was at the centre of a pilot licence scandal, said a “PIA flight will depart from Islamabad to Paris on January 10.
“Initially, two flights will be operated weekly [on Friday and Sunday], which will gradually be increased.”
“We have got approval for the first flight’s schedule we had filed,” PIA spokesperson Abdullah Hafeez Khan had said a day earlier, adding that the airline would be opening bookings on December 9 for its planned Jan 10 flight of a Boeing 777 to Paris.
PIA officials also met with Director AGS Airports Glasgow Christopher Tibbett today to discuss the resumption of flights to the United Kingdom according to a post shared by the national carrier on X.
