Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has been allowed to operate direct flights to Australia, ARY News reported on Sunday.
The approval was given by the Australian Civil Aviation Safety Authority on the request of the PIA.
Following the approval, Pakistan International Airline (PIA) has begun preparations for the direct flights to Australia, which would reduce travelling time by approximately one-third to and from down under.
Since there are no direct flights between Pakistan and Australia, it currently takes 34 to 35 hours to travel with stopovers, which increases travelling time for passengers.
