London: The Pakistani High Commission on Friday announced that national carrier Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) will resume flight operations to the UK this month.
No exact date was given in the announcement, which was posted on X.
“The High Commissioner is grateful to the Civil Aviation Authority UK for issuing the Foreign Aircraft Operating Permit (FOP) today, which is the final document for commercial flights between the UK and Pakistan,” the post read.
PIA has already received Third Country Operator (TCO) approval for flight operations in the UK, and in the first phase, flight operations will resume to Manchester, followed by Birmingham and London.
In July, the UK removed Pakistan from its air safety list, allowing Pakistani airlines to apply to operate flights to the UK.
The development came after the UK Department for Transport concluded an aviation security inspection at Islamabad International Airport on Thursday, which described Pakistan’s security arrangements as “satisfactory and in line with international standards.”
