PIA Set to Soar Again: Direct Flights from Pakistan to the UK Resume
Exciting news for frequent travelers and families looking to reconnect! Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has officially received the green light from the UK’s Department for Transport to operate as a Third Country Operator. This means that after a long hiatus, we can finally look forward to the return of direct flights between Pakistan and the UK.
Next month, PIA is relaunching its UK operations, starting with flights to Manchester. Following this, they plan to expand their services to Birmingham and London in upcoming phases. This move is not just about convenience; it also holds the promise of strengthening ties between the two countries, whether for family visits, business trips, or tourism.
The UK authorities’ recent approval allows PIA to operate direct flights for both passengers and cargo. Additionally, the airline has secured a five-year ACC3 certification, which covers its security and cargo operations. This certification reflects renewed confidence in PIA’s commitment to safety and operational excellence, aspects that have faced scrutiny over the past few years.
In his statement, PIA’s CEO expressed heartfelt gratitude to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and various government bodies whose support was vital in securing this milestone. It’s clear that teamwork and resilience have played essential roles in getting PIA back into the skies.
This development is particularly significant for travelers who have been eagerly awaiting the return of these direct flights. Not only will it restore confidence among passengers, but it will also bolster trade links via cargo operations. So, if you’ve been longing for that direct connection to loved ones or just want to explore London’s iconic sights, keep an eye on PIA’s upcoming schedule.
