Location:  Pakistan (country-wide)

Event: Update #11 – Contact Information for PIA Flights for U.S. Citizens

The U.S. Mission to Pakistan continues to explore options for U.S. citizens wishing to depart Pakistan.

During the period of April 1 to April 11, 2020, the Pakistani government has approved for Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) to restore limited flight operations between Islamabad, Karachi, and Lahore and various countries to include flights to Canada and the United Kingdom.  From Canada and the United Kingdom, U.S. citizens could then book onward travel to the United States.

We know that several U.S. citizens have utilized PIA to depart Pakistan, but we have also received information that booking travel arrangements with PIA has been difficult.

PIA has provided the following contact details for U.S. citizens:

Monday to Friday 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Pakistan Standard Time (PST)

021-99043706

24/7

021-99043730

If unable to get through to either number, contact 0333 2300519 (M-Sat. 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. PST)

Email: specialflights@piac.aero

PIA informed the U.S. Mission that ticket offices have been notified that U.S. citizens are permitted to book outbound flights to the United Kingdom and Canada.

For other flight options, please see recent message to U.S. citizens about the possibility of U.S. government-facilitated flights.
