AVIATION-<\/p>\n

<\/strong>Saudia to<\/strong> snap two London Heathrow slots in 2025:<\/strong> Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) is looking to lease two of its slots at the PIF-backed London Heathrow to Saudia \u2014 formerly known as Saudi Arabian Airlines \u2014 this year, effective from 5 April until 25 October, PIA Spokesperson Abdullah Hafeez Khan told Arab News<\/a>. The PIA has already filed a request for the slot transfer to global airport slot coordinator Airport Coordination Limited (ACL), after they were returned from Vietnam Airlines.<\/p>\n

BACKGROUND-<\/strong> The Kingdom\u2019s flagship airline Saudia is already leasing two slots from PIA under a revolving six-month contract, with the remaining eight slots on offer currently going to Turkish Airlines and Vietnam Airlines, Khan added. PIA began leasing out slots at European airports after the EU Aviation Safety Agency and restrictions by the UK blocked the PIA\u2019s ability to operate in the zone in 2020 amid concerns over compliance with international aviation standards following a deadly plane crash. The ban was lifted<\/a> in November.<\/p>\n
