PIA to expand fleet to resume flights to UK, Europe
Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) is set to enhance its operational
capacity by reactivating two grounded aircraft—a Boeing 777 and an Airbus
A320—bringing its active fleet to 18. This development aims to meet growing
passenger demand and support the airline's revenue growth.
Boeing 777 Returns to Service
Grounded for over a year, the Boeing 777 is scheduled to resume operations
on January 10, 2025, with its first flight bound for Paris. The wide-body
aircraft, which seats 440 passengers, plays a critical role in PIA’s European
flight operations and is expected to be essential for the upcoming Hajj season.
The airline confirmed that the required engines for the aircraft will arrive
in Pakistan within the next two days, ensuring its readiness for service.

Airbus A320 to Boost Operations
The reactivation of the Airbus A320 will enhance both domestic and
international routes. With its versatility and fuel efficiency, the A320 is
well-suited to increase flight frequency and cater to rising passenger numbers.
Strategic Goals
By expanding its fleet, PIA aims to strengthen its position on high-capacity
routes, particularly in Europe, and improve service for Hajj pilgrims. This
move marks a significant step in the airline's efforts to revitalize operations
and boost revenue through increased connectivity.
PIA’s commitment to enhancing its fleet signals a renewed focus on
operational excellence and passenger satisfaction as the airline strives to
meet the demands of a competitive aviation market.
