KARACHI: The Pakistan International Airlines will operate three weekly flights from the metropolis to Bangkok from Sept 16, PIA chairman Irfan Illahi said on Friday.

According to a PIA statement, the total number of destinations — both international and domestic — on the national flag carrier’s network has increased to 50 now.

The PIA chief said that passengers coming from other major cities would also be able to travel to Bangkok with convenient timings. He said the airline would operate Airbus A320 aircraft for direct flights between Karachi and Bangkok.

Bangkok would be the second destination to be added to the PIA network in September as the airline already announced commencement of flights to Najaf in Iraq from Sept 14, the statement added.
