Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has temporarily stopped flights to Canada this month. The airline will perform mandatory maintenance on its Boeing 777 aircraft. These planes can fly nonstop for up to 17 hours across the Atlantic. The maintenance will last three weeks and include thorough technical checks and parts replacement.
PIA stated that this inspection is required every ten years to ensure aircraft safety and readiness. The move aims to prepare for a surge in passengers expected in the coming months. A PIA spokesperson apologized for the inconvenience but emphasized passenger safety as the top priority.
Meanwhile, a Canadian team recently conducted an aviation security assessment at Jinnah International Airport. PIA continues to work closely with authorities to maintain high safety standards. The airline plans to resume flights promptly after completing maintenance.
Passengers are advised to stay updated with PIA for new flight schedules and alternative arrangements. PIA remains committed to providing safe and reliable service.
