Pakistan
International Airlines (PIA) has entered into a strategic cargo partnership
with Air France–KLM, expanding
its global freight footprint as the national carrier undergoes significant
institutional reforms.
The agreement, which took effect on January 15,
grants PIA Cargo access to Air France–KLM’s extensive global network. Under the
arrangement, exporters can ship cargo across Europe and the United States using
a single air waybill covering both airlines.
