  • The first LahoreLondon service, PK-757, is scheduled to depart on March 30 with arrivals at Heathrow Terminal 4.
  • PIA will initially run one weekly LahoreLondon flight alongside three weekly IslamabadLondon flights beginning March 29.
  • The airline expects to operate up to seven weekly UK services by the end of March, with further increases planned as demand allows.
  • PIA previously resumed flights to Manchester as part of a phased rebuild of its UK network after years of restrictions.
