  "account": "Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) announced plans to expand its fleet by adding four aircraft in the coming months, according to parliamentary secretary for Defence Osama Sarwar. The additional planes will help the airline resume flights on more routes and bolster its international network. Sarwar outlined the arrival schedule for the new aircraft in a National Assembly session. The first aircraft is expected to become operational on November 1, followed by the second on November 15. The airline will determine the second aircraft's route shortly after its arrival. Two more planes are set to join PIA's fleet in January 2027, with these additional aircraft scheduled to begin operations from Karachi. The expansion aims to allow PIA to offer services on more destinations. The announcement coincides with the airline's ongoing efforts to rebuild its international flight services, including routes to the United Kingdom.",
