With BA unsure future of flying to Pak, PIA can easily takeover the traffic for these 7-8 hour direct flights. More options for Europe from Pakistan

In April 1976, PIA's very first Boeing B747-282B was delivered to its Karachi base in Pakistan. This aircraft made history for the airline and marked a new milestone.
The aircraft wore a newly designed color scheme of green flag and golden stripes. In reference to the national pride of the country, it emphasized Pakistan's flag colors in the painting. Its proud display of the emblem on its tail further added grandeur to the aircraft.
This was a defining moment for PIA as the airline expanded its fleet and embarked upon a new era of air travel. It symbolized modernity and national identity on the international front.

The Pakistan Airports Authority (PAA) has lost Rs4.1 billion in just over two months after closing its airspace to Indian-registered aircraft, the Ministry of Defence informed the National Assembly on Friday.

The ministry said the shortfall, from April 24 to June 30, was in overflying revenue and was lower than the reported Rs8.5bn. The closure followed India’s unilateral suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty on April 23.

From the very next day, Pakistan withdrew overflight permission for all Indian-registered aircraft and those operated, owned, or leased by Indian carriers.
