The UK Department for Transport (DfT) is scheduled to travel to Pakistan in mid-January to evaluate the situation, according to sources.
In February, PIA is anticipated to begin direct flight operations to the UK as part of the endeavor. For a safety audit, a team from the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) will be traveling to Karachi from January 15 to 17.
In order to obtain an exemption from the security audit, the CAA has gotten in touch with the UK aviation authorities.
In addition to expressing trust in the manual report that the Pakistani authorities gave, the DfT has indicated that it is willing to approve the exception.
Following earlier audits, the British aviation team will formally do a safety audit of the CAA and PIA. Nadir Shafi, the CAA’s Director-General, is personally in charge of the teams working on the process of starting flights to the UK again.
In the first phase, PIA intends to run direct flights to Manchester, and the CAA is also anticipated to inform the DfT delegation. In the second phase, flights to London and other places will be introduced. PIA will fly to the UK and Europe using its Boeing 777 aircraft.
