PIA is gearing up to relaunch its flight services to Paris next month, as announced during a discussion with a group from the Council of Economic and Energy Journalists in Islamabad.
The spokesperson for PIA revealed that the national airline expects to secure safety clearance from the International Aviation Safety Assessment (IASA) by the end of this month.
Upon obtaining clearance, flights to Paris will commence in June, followed by the reintroduction of direct flights from Pakistan to Heathrow Airport in Britain on Jan 2025.
In preparation for the reopening of European and British routes, PIA has expedited maintenance and overhaul procedures for its Boeing 777 aircraft fleet.
Currently, seven Boeing 777 planes are operational, with two more set to join the fleet within the next two months, bringing the total to nine. This expansion will enable PIA to efficiently operate flights to Europe and Britain.
