PIA to start direct flights to Manchester from Lahore in July
Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) is continuing to expand its global network with the introduction of a new direct route between Lahore and Manchester.
The service is scheduled to commence in early
July, with one weekly flight in each direction operated by a Boeing 777
aircraft.
Flight PK710 will depart Manchester every Friday
at 7:30 PM, arriving in Lahore at 7:30 AM after an approximately eight-hour
journey. The return flight, PK709, will leave Lahore every Saturday at 12:25 PM
and land in Manchester at 5:00 PM, with a travel time of around eight hours and
35 minutes.
This new route is part of PIA’s broader strategy
to rebuild and strengthen its international operations. Recently, the airline
resumed direct flights from Lahore to London on March 30, marking the end of a
six-year suspension after restrictions on Pakistani carriers were lifted.
