Pakistan International Airlines expands Manchester

Starting on July 3, 2026, PIA will introduce a new route connecting Lahore and Manchester. The service will be operated 1 weekly on a Boeing 777.

This comes after the airline resumed direct flights from Lahore to London on March 30, ending a six-year pause, following the removal of restrictions on Pakistani carriers.
