Pakistan International Airlines

Although nothing has been said recently, PIA’s plan was believed to be MAN followed by CDG followed by LHR. I doubt the company can afford leasing in aircraft so they will be stuck with 3? refurbished 777-300. I will believe all this only when I hear they have touched down.

If there are losers, most likely it would be Saudia and Turkish.

We know PIA applied for 4x weekly slots for BHX-ISB for S24 so its clear BHX is on their radar.

Regardless, if there are losers, I still believe its most likely to be PIA with their 3 refurbished 773 over!

I can`t see PIA back in BHX before late 2025 at earliest and to be honest now a lot of people have found other more reliable airlines, I have my doubts on them returning other than MAN 3 or 4 weekly and the same at LHR as they are in a terrible finalcial state

did hear something about Pakistani airlines having a meeting with the UK and EASA teams. If all goes well, we still won’t see PIA for a bit. They need more 777s out of storage to even operate a single route

Yeah 2 aircraft minimun for 1 route if more than 3 a week
