Good to know that. Looks to me this route have potential to go daily from LHE and ISB and 4X Weekly from KHI.

Between any rough Idea how was the load factor looks like? Was empty seats in there or flight was fully occupied?

A330-300 definitely cannot fly directly to Toronto. So a Toronto flight with one stop at London would be added?

Maybe they plan to add two PIA Boeing 777-240LRs (AP-BGY & AP-BGZ) with upgraded cabin seats in PIA Premier service in the near future?
