Passengers await PIA's UK flight resumption

The long wait continues for passengers hoping for the resumption of PIA flights to the United Kingdom, as the national flag carrier's offices nationwide see a growing influx of anxious travelers seeking updates.

Although over three weeks have passed since the UK lifted its travel ban on PIA, the national carrier has yet to restart its direct flight operations.

PIA officials say all operational preparations have been finalised but the launch is now contingent on the issuance of the Third Country Operators license by the UK Civil Aviation Authority—a requirement for non-European airlines to operate within the UK.
