✈️ No Immediate UK Flights Yet, Clarifies PIA

In a separate statement, Pakistan International Airlines Corporation Limited (PIACL) has addressed the confusion regarding flights to the United Kingdom. Recent media reports suggested PIA might soon resume operations to the UK, but the airline clarified the situation. bbc

PIA explained that the UK Civil Aviation Authority (UK CAA) has granted a general regulatory clearance to the Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority (PCAA). This approval confirms that Pakistani aviation safety standards meet international requirements, but it does not directly apply to PIA or any other specific airline.

The airline stated that all Pakistani carriers, including PIA, must still apply separately for operating licenses and receive route-specific approvals before they can restart UK-bound services. Reports mentioning PIA’s return to the UK were symbolic and did not reflect any immediate change in flight operations. Dawn
