List of Pakistan International Airlines destinations
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pakistan International Airlines Corporation, commonly known as Pakistan International Airlines or PIA, is the flag carrier airline of Pakistan. The airline has its head office on the grounds of Jinnah International Airport in Karachi.[1][2] Its main bases are Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad/Rawalpindi.
Pakistan International Airlines was set up on 1 March 1955, after Orient Airways merged with the government's proposed new airline. During the same year the airline opened its first international service, from Karachi to Heathrow Airport via Cairo International Airport and Leonardo da Vinci–Fiumicino Airport in Fiumicino, Italy, using three newly acquired Lockheed L-1049C Super Constellations. The DC-3s continued operating the domestic services in Pakistan. In May 1956, PIA ordered two further Super Lockheed Constellations of the latest L-1049H version and five Vickers Viscount 815.

Until 1971 PIA also served various places as domestic stations in what was East Pakistan.[19][48] During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the PIA operated a series of chartered flights to and from Australia, South Africa, South Korea, UK and the Middle East among others to transport stranded citizens.[49][50][51] On 30 June 2020, the European Air Safety Agency banned PIA from operating in Europe for six months.[52] On 29 November 2024, the European Air Safety Agency permitted PIA to start operating in Europe.
