Pakistan International Airlines Set to Soar Back to Europe After Safety Ban Lifted
Islamabad – After a four-year hiatus, pakistan International Airlines (PIA) is gearing up to resume direct flights to Europe in early January, a welcome development for travelers and the airline’s bottom line. The declaration comes on the heels of the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) lifting a ban imposed in 2020.
The ban, triggered by a fatal PIA plane crash in Karachi that claimed 97 lives, dealt a critically important blow to the airline, costing it an estimated $150 million annually.
“The EASA has expressed full satisfaction with our enhanced safety standards,” PIA spokesman Abdullah Hafeez told the Associated Press. “We are thrilled to announce the resumption of direct flights from Islamabad to Paris in early January, with plans to expand to other European destinations soon.”
the return of PIA to European skies marks a major milestone for the airline, signaling its commitment to safety and its determination to reclaim its place in the international aviation market.
