Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has entered into a significant aircraft agreement with Norwegian aviation group Norse Atlantic ASA. The deal involves two Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners, which PIA will operate under an ACMI agreement. This expansion is aimed at bolstering long-haul flight capacity between Pakistan and the United Kingdom.
PIA anticipates commencing operations with the new aircraft from early November 2026. The partnership is expected to enhance connectivity between the two nations, providing passengers with additional travel options. Norse Atlantic will supply the aircraft, crew, maintenance, and insurance, relieving PIA of the operational burdens associated with these elements.
Norse Atlantic CEO Eivind Roald expressed delight in bolstering PIA's long-haul capabilities and strengthening the UK-Pakistan travel link for the sizable Pakistani diaspora in the UK. This marks the inception of a strategic alliance between the airlines. PIA, since its privatization in late 2025, has been focusing on fleet enhancements and route diversification.
Currently, the airline flies a fleet of 31 aircraft, consisting of Boeing 777s and Airbus A320s, serving numerous destinations from China to North America.
