Pakistan
International Airlines (PIA) has significantly expanded its connectivity
between China and Pakistan through new strategic partnerships with Air China and Shenzhen
Airlines, enabling travelers from 25 Chinese cities to access PIA’s direct
Beijing–Islamabad service via seamless connecting flights.
The initiative is designed to
enhance travel convenience for students, business professionals, tourists, and
families while strengthening people-to-people contacts and commercial ties
between the two countries.
Under the agreement with Air China,
passengers from 16 Chinese cities—including Chongqing, Chengdu, Hangzhou,
Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Wuhan, Xi’an, and Urumqi—can conveniently
connect to PIA’s Beijing–Islamabad route through integrated ticketing
arrangements.

In addition, PIA’s collaboration
with Shenzhen Airlines extends access to nine more destinations, including
Yichun, Xiangyang, Chengdu Tianfu, Quanzhou/Jinjiang, Nantong, Wuxi, Nanning,
Guangzhou, and Shenzhen. Travelers from these cities can now complete their
journey to Islamabad through Beijing on a single ticket, offering greater
convenience and smoother transit.
The national carrier is also
introducing competitive through-fares from all 25 partner cities, making travel
between China and Pakistan more affordable. The fare structure is expected to
particularly benefit Pakistani students studying in China, business travelers,
tourists, and Chinese visitors heading to Pakistan.
According to PIA, the expanded
cooperation reflects the airline’s commitment to strengthening China-Pakistan
connectivity and supporting tourism, educational exchanges, trade, and cultural
engagement. Passengers will benefit from streamlined travel arrangements, wider
route options, and enhanced access to destinations across China through PIA’s
partner airlines.
