Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has introduced significant fare reductions on select international routes in an effort to attract more passengers ahead of the summer season.
The national carrier has offered a 50% discount on flights between Pakistan and three Saudi cities: Dammam, Riyadh, and Al-Qassim. According to a PIA spokesperson, the offer is effective immediately and will remain available until 9 June. Passengers can book their discounted tickets for travel within the promotional period.

In a separate move aimed at boosting travel to Europe, PIA has also introduced a 15% discount on its Lahore–Paris route. This limited-time offer is valid for bookings made until 9 June, with travel dates set between 18 June and 2 July 2025.
These initiatives are part of the airline’s broader strategy to encourage international travel and strengthen its presence on long-haul routes. The announcement comes shortly after PIA resumed its operations to France, marking its return after more than four years. The airline recently operated flight PK-749 to Paris, signaling a renewed commitment to its European network.
