ISLAMABAD: Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) will launch its ‘Premier Service’ on the country’s Independence Day on Sunday.
“The A-330 aircraft offering improved entertainment facilities to the on-board passengers will make inaugural flight from Islamabad-London on Sunday,” PIA Spokesman Danyal Gillani said on Wednesday.
Initially, about six weekly flights from both Islamabad and Lahore would be operated for London without any upward or downward revision of existing fares. In addition to International routes, PIA would also make the service available on some domestic routes.
The service would be available for club and economy classes’ passengers on board the newly acquired aircraft from Sri Lanka on lease. Meanwhile, he said PIA had launched new logo of its Premier Service besides unveiling a new uniform for the crew members of the service.
Gillani said the crew members for the Premier flights had already been imparted special training to properly look after the passengers on-board. He said the aircraft could carry about 330 passengers and crew and PIA had already sold out all the tickets for the inaugural flight.
