Pakistan is optimistic about resuming Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) flights to the United Kingdom within a period of three months.
Aviation Minister Khawaja Saad Rafique made the announcement in parliament, saying new legislation this week had removed the last hurdle for the national carrier to fly to the United Kingdom.
“God willing, the PIA flights will resume at least to the UK in three months, and, later, flights to Europe and America will resume,” he said.
The suspension of PIA flights to the UK was imposed due to safety concerns raised by the UK’s Civil Aviation Authority. However, Pakistan is actively working to address these concerns and make necessary improvements to ensure the safe operation of flights.
The aim is to restore PIA’s flight operations between Pakistan and the UK within the next three months, subject to meeting all safety and regulatory requirements.
