PIA Resumes Flights to Europe with Islamabad to Paris Route

Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has announced the much-anticipated resumption of its flights to Europe after a four-year hiatus. Starting January 10, 2025, PIA will operate its inaugural flight from Islamabad to Paris, marking a significant milestone in reconnecting Pakistan with European destinations.

Flight Schedule Details

In the initial phase, PIA will operate two weekly flights on this route, scheduled as follows:

Departure from Islamabad: Fridays and Sundays at 11:30 AM.
Arrival in Paris: 4:00 PM (local time).
Return from Paris: 6:00 PM (local time).
Arrival in Islamabad: 5:00 AM (next day).

The schedule is thoughtfully designed for passenger convenience, allowing travelers to enjoy breakfast in Pakistan and lunch in Paris.

Booking Now Open

PIA has started accepting bookings for its flights to Europe. Flight PK 719 from Islamabad to Paris is now available for booking for January 10, 2025, offering passengers an excellent opportunity to experience seamless travel to Europe.

Background

PIA’s operations to Europe were halted four years ago due to regulatory issues related to pilot licenses, which led to a ban imposed by the European Union and the United Kingdom. This resumption marks a pivotal moment in PIA’s recovery and re-establishment as a trusted international carrier.

Modernized Facilities

PIA flights to Paris will take off from Islamabad’s newly upgraded airport, equipped with state-of-the-art amenities. The airport upgrade, completed with a $246 million investment, includes modern facilities designed to enhance passenger comfort and convenience.
