Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has secured permission to operate the Boeing 787 in Pakistan for the first time following a thorough inspection. According to the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), a delegation headed by Director General Nader Shafi Dar reviewed the aircraft at Oslo Airport and granted the necessary permit. Additional Boeing 787s will undergo inspections at Oslo and London airports on upcoming dates.
Last month, PIA agreed to collaborate with Norwegian aviation firm Norse Atlantic to acquire two Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners, aimed at enlarging its long-haul services between Pakistan and the United Kingdom. PIA plans to commence its inaugural Boeing 787 flight on October 31, with Flight PK-786 scheduled to transport passengers from London to Islamabad.
The airline will also unveil a new uniform for its staff on this date. These new aircraft are anticipated to enhance PIA's international network and elevate the quality of services provided to passengers. Moreover, PIA is actively working towards upgrading the cabins of its Boeing 777 fleet to further enhance the passenger experience on long-haul routes.
