The possibility of restoring direct flights between Pakistan and the United States has gained momentum as communication between the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) moves forward.
According to Samaa News, citing sources, the FAA has finalized its plans for an official visit to Pakistan. During the visit, the American delegation will hold key meetings with CAA officials and inspect the authority’s headquarters.
Discussions will focus on evaluating Pakistan’s aviation standards and exploring the pathway to resume direct flight operations between the two countries.
The development marks a positive step toward restoring direct air travel, which has remained suspended for several years.

But PIA has no aircraft available for flights to the US. six 777s remain grounded out of a total fleet of 12. Two of the six grounded 777s are completely written off, and four that can be brought back to service need major repairs and parts, including engines and overhauled landing gears. These aircraft are equipped with 20 year old club class seats, with no inflight entertainment. Imagine a 15 hour flights looking at the ceiling.
While this is very good news, the reason why it happened has been overlooked and the person responsible for causing this loss to PIA and the country’s reputation, has gone Scott free. That matric pass aviation minister who made that damaging statement in parliament
