PIA Plans New York Growth

Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) is planning to add a fourth weekly flight to New York from June 1 but it has yet to open the additional rotation for reservations. The new Wednesday flight will operate on a Karachi – Lahore – Manchester – New York JFK routing and will be flown by a Boeing 777-300ER. It is currently displaying in the GDS but has not yet appeared in the airline’s own booking system. Interestingly, all of PIA’s existing flights on this route operate the eastbound leg non-stop to Pakistan, but this flight is displaying a return flight via Manchester.

More information on this story will appear in this week’s The HUB, available on Friday 15th April.
