KARACHI: Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has given its seven spots at London’s Heathrow Airport to Turkish and Kuwait Airlines. Six slots were given to a Turkish airline while one was allotted to A Kuwait-based airline, PIA sources told.

According to details, PIA has sub-let its seven spots at London’s Heathrow Airport for six months to two different airlines. Agreement to sub-let slots was signed by PIA.

Heathrow Airport authorities had applied for cancellation of spots due to sanctions on PIA. Cancellation would have affected PIA’s future operations at Heathrow.

PIA would have to locate lower standard airports such as Getok or Loten in case of cancellation of slots. PIA decided to sub-let slots to other airlines fearing cancellation.

Earlier on September 20, Pakistan International Airlines and other airlines increased fares following suspension of train operations for four weeks from Lahore to Karachi.

Following an influx of passengers due to closed train operations, private airlines including SereneAir, AirSial, Airblue and national flag carrier PIA hiked fares.
