Lahore:

Pia has resumed its direct flight service from Lahore to Paris after a hole of five years and marked a greater development in the national carrier’s efforts to restore its European network.

According to a Pia spokesman, the first weekly flight, PK-733, landed 276 passengers at Charles de Gaulle Airport on Wednesday.

This resumption follows many years of limited European connection due to operational and regulatory challenges.

A magnificent ceremony was held at the airport to commemorate the relaunch of the routes. Airline officials and passengers participated in the event.
