PIA launches air-to-rail facility for Canada, UK

PIA on Tuesday announced an 'air-to-rail' partnership with the service-providers in Canada and the UK, aimed at easing onward travel for passengers flying to Toronto and major UK destinations.

A PIA spokesperson said the initiative had been launched to provide greater convenience to passengers by allowing them to complete their journeys by train on a single ticket after arriving at their international destination.

Under the arrangement, passengers travelling to Toronto on PIA can connect by rail to eight major cities across Canada through the airline's partner rail service, eliminating the need for separate train bookings.
