Preparations for direct flights from Islamabad and Lahore to the UK | SAMAA TV

A major travel milestone has been reached as Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) officially resumed direct flight operations from Islamabad and Lahore to London Heathrow. This restoration marks the end of a six-year wait for the Pakistani diaspora, students, and business travelers.

The service officially kicked off on March 29, 2026, from Islamabad, followed by the first direct departure from Lahore on March 30, 2026. These non-stop flights reduce travel time to approximately 8 hours, eliminating the need for exhausting stopovers in the Middle East.

Operational Highlights:

Routes: Direct flights now operating from Islamabad (ISB) and Lahore (LHE) to London Heathrow (LHR).

Frequency: The expanded UK schedule brings the total to seven weekly flights, including existing services to Manchester.

Strategic Growth: This revival follows the successful privatization of PIA, with new management focusing on fleet expansion and improved onboard services.
