PIA to Restart London Route, Its Most Popular International Service

PIA will operate four weekly flights from Islamabad to Heathrow Terminal 4, complementing three weekly Manchester flights to enhance UK-Pakistan connectivity.

  • On Tuesday, Pakistan International Airlines announced it will resume London flights from March 29, 2026 via Heathrow Airport’s Terminal 4.
  • Privatisation underpins the move, with a 75% stake sold to the Arif Habib Corporation-led consortium joined by Fauji Fertiliser Company Limited, which will provide financial support and management.
  • After securing Heathrow approval, sources said PIA obtained four weekly Heathrow slot approvals, which had been allocated to Turkish Airlines during suspension to prevent forfeiture.
  • Passengers will see increased UK connectivity by adding London service to PIA’s three flights per week to Manchester, enhancing travel convenience.
  • The owners intend to expand the fleet in phases to 64 aircraft as part of PIA’s international services revival.
