PIA starts London to Sialkot flights

Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) will run Sialkot-London-Sialkot from 10th of September this year, a private media house reported on Friday.

Initially, this route will be operated once-a-week from Sialkot to London (Heathrow) every Tuesday whereas the flight from Heathrow to Sialkot will arrive every Wednesday, PIA’s country manager in UK Siraj Qazi confirmed.

The route will provide direct point to point service to Sialkot city and shortest approach to Mirpur, Azad Kashmir, Kharian, Gujrat, Jhelum and adjoining areas.

It is pertinent to mention that this new-fangled rout will be more significant for the Sikh Yatris who are planning to participate in the celebration of 550th Birthday of Baba Guru Nanak Dev ji.
