PIA announces new route to Malaysia, Thailand; slashes fare for international flights
LAHORE — Pakistan International Airline (PIA) has announced a new direct route from the Punjab capital to two top southeastern Asian destinations.

On December 24, the new flight PK-897 will take passengers from Lahore to Bangkok – the capital of Thailand – with a stopover in Kuala Lumpur.

According to an agreement, the Malaysian Airline will take PIA customers to the Thai capital in cases of the low number of passengers.
