PIA to expand charter flights operation to UK, Europe

October 9, 2021 01:22 PM


The Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has decided to expand its charter flights operation for the UK and European Union countries, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

Keeping in view the recent lifting of restrictions on Pakistani travellers by the UK government, the PIA has sought bids from the charter aircraft companies to boost its flights operations to Britain and Europe, an airline spokesman told 24News TV channel on Saturday.

The PIA sought the service for charter flights for six months – from November 2021 to April 2022. The charter aircraft company must have International Air Transport Association’s (IATA) operational audit operator certificate.

The PIA needs 250-seater planes for the charter service.
