PIA Launches Single-Ticket Air-to-Rail Links in Canada and the UK

The move signals a post-privatisation push to modernise service following the lifting of EU and UK bans.

Overview

  • Passengers arriving in Toronto can connect to eight Canadian cities by rail on the same itinerary.
  • Travelers to London and Manchester gain access to more than 50 UK cities via partner trains.
  • Combined air-and-rail bookings are available through PIA offices, registered agents, the airline’s website, and its mobile app.
  • The carrier presents the integration as a convenience upgrade that removes the need for separate train tickets after international flights.
  • The rollout follows PIA’s return to UK routes in 2025 and the December sale of a 75% stake to an Arif Habib-led consortium for Rs135 billion.
