According to Geo News, PIA is making alternate arrangements for the transportation of passengers between Pakistan and UK starting from August 14.
Flight details to be announced after Eid.
Maybe codeshare flights operated by Turkish Airlines and Pegasus Airlines to transport PIA passengers between UK and Istanbul.

Pakistan International Airlines is chartering aircraft with the crew from Portuguese charter airline Hifly to resume its flights to the UK from Pakistan. These aircraft will be acquired on a charter basis and they will be utilised for mostly European flights. It is important to note that while this planing was shaping up PIA’s main competitor on the route British Airways announced to resume its flights from 14 August as well. According to sources, PIA will utilise HiFly’s Airbus A330-900 NEO registration CS-TKY.

This his the worst choice for an 8 hour long flight.Pakistan International Airlines is chartering aircraft with the crew from Portuguese charter airline Hifly to resume its flights to the UK from Pakistan. These aircraft will be acquired on a charter basis and they will be utilised for mostly European flights. It is important to note that while this planing was shaping up PIA’s main competitor on the route British Airways announced to resume its flights from 14 August as well. According to sources, PIA will utilise HiFly’s Airbus A330-900 NEO registration CS-TKY.
The HiFly A330-900 is in high density layout of 353 in economy class and 18 in club.
It has a 3-3-3 layout in economy while a standard A330 has 2-4-2 layout. seat width will be 16.5 inches Seat pitch is 30-31 inches.
It will be a nightmare flight.

It would have been nice to see them use Air Belgium A340... They used to wet lease them recently to different European airlines (British, Air France, Lot,...)

I flew TAP A330-941 is very good seat and smooth and less noise and comfortable cabin. Good luck for PIA inshallah.

Does charter = wet lease.
The paying travelling public should get the PIA treatment in the cabin at least, i.e. cabin crew, food, ( perhaps not the broken seats and temperamental IFE ) if they are advertising the trip with a PIA 777.

On the plus side, there might be IFE in economy & actual flat-beds in Business. Interesting to see.
