Most likely PIA lazy team has not updated it yet \:D/ \:D/

Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has allowed operation of chartered aircraft flights between Pakistan and UK with PIA passengers from February 5 to March 28. Flights will be performed by chartered Hi Fly aircraft.

European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) restriction banning operation of PIA aircraft flights to & from Europe is effective till March 31.

The restriction was initially imposed for six months from July 1 to December 31, 2020, over issues including safety management systems in PIA, PK8303 crash and pilot license scandal in Pakistan.

Later, the restriction was extended for another three months to March 31, 2021, as EASA remains unsatisfied over authenticity of pilot licenses issued by Pakistan CAA.

Is PIA running 1 flight a week between Manchaster and Islamabad??

How are BA and Virgin managing to get good loads on their multiple flights??

Is PIA restricted to 1 flight a week or is that all they are able to fill?

UK will ease travel restrictions by end of March as the vaccine would have reached a large part of the population over 50.

By end of March PIA might also be allowed to resume flights to the UK in direct competition with British airways and Virgin Atlantic.

Is PIA ready for such flights?? Who will fly on 15 year old 777s with zero onboard entertainment when you fly in the new 787s with good entertainment onboard.

The question is, if the EU continue on with the ban after march, will PIA be permitted to fly over European airspace to reach the UK.
