Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has scheduled passenger flights to the United Kingdom. 听
According to the official PIA , Pakistan精东影业 national flag carrier will resume passenger flights from Jinnah International鈥疉irport鈥�(KHI) in Karachi and Allama Iqbal International Airport (LHE) in Lahore to London from February 10, 2022. 听
From February 12, 2022, the airline will also expand its flight schedule with air connectivity services from Islamabad (ISB). A one-way ticket between Karachi (KHI) and London (LHR)听will cost travelers听up to听鈧�39 (PKR77,750). Flights from Lahore (LHE) will be offered听at the same price.听
The move comes听just听weeks after the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) withdrew restrictions barring PIA from flying to the UK. The ICAO听confirmed that the carrier had resolved a safety concern听following a听2020 scandal,听which revealed a large number of Pakistani pilots held dubious commercial pilot licenses.听
Earlier in January 2022, in a letter to Khan Murtaza, the director-general of Pakistan CAA, the authority revealed the听conclusions of its 10-day safety audit, which was听conducted in December 2021. The听ICAO confirmed that its validation committee听had听reviewed the action taken by Pakistan to address the Significant Safety Concern (SCC) and determined that Pakistan精东影业 CAA had听successfully resolved the issued SCC.鈥��
Having passed the ICAO safety audit, Pakistan CAA has raised new hopes for state-registered airlines regaining permission for flight operations to the United States, the United Kingdom, and European countries. The move offers听PIA a听chance to return to its key international markets.听
