Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) will boost its direct flights to London, increasing service from four times a week to seven starting October 27, the airline announced on Wednesday. This expansion follows the removal of Pakistan from the UK's Air Safety List in July 2025, allowing PIA to resume flights to the country after a nearly five-year hiatus.
The revised schedule will see five weekly flights from Islamabad to London, accompanied by two flights on the Lahore-London route. PIA's decision to increase London service reflects growing passenger demand and renewed confidence in its international operations. Manchester was the first UK destination to receive PIA flights, which resumed in March of this year.
The airline's renewed presence in the UK is expected to offer passengers more direct travel options between Pakistan and Britain, as the carrier continues to rebuild its international network.
