The Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) on Tuesday announced it has inked an “air-to-rail” partnership with leading rail services in Canada and the United Kingdom to facilitate passengers traveling to Toronto and destinations in Britain.
Under the arrangement, PIA passengers will be able to continue their journey to final destinations by train on a single ticket after completing their air travel, eliminating the need for separate rail bookings.
In a press release, PIA said passengers arriving in Toronto would be able to connect to eight major cities across Canada through the airline’s partner rail service. Similarly, passengers flying to London and Manchester will have access to more than 50 cities across the U.K. via rail.
According to PIA, the booking process is simple and convenient, allowing passengers to reserve rail tickets alongside their air tickets through PIA booking offices, registered travel agents, the airline’s official website, and its mobile application.
In December, a consortium led by the Arif Habib Corporation Limited acquired a 75% majority stake in PIA.
