Alhamdulillah! PIA returns to UK skies 🇵🇰✈️
Grateful to Allah Almighty as Pakistan stands vindicated with the restoration of our airlines operations to the United Kingdom. The reckless and irresponsible statements made by PTI members caused irreparable reputational damage to Pakistan, grounding our national carrier for years, from key global routes, including the UK and Europe.

With over XXX million people of Pakistani heritage living in the UK and thousands of British nationals in Pakistan, today’s announcement brings long-awaited relief and new opportunities for families and friends to reunite. As Pakistan’s third-largest trading partner, this ease in travel between the UK and Pakistan will help this vital trade relationship grow manifold.

Special appreciation for the DPM, Defence Minister, the entire Aviation team, and all other stakeholders, for their tireless efforts in this regard.
Job well done! 👏🏻
