Good to see BA back at ISB. Though departing schedule from ISB Isn't great as connections to North America will have issues besides maybe flights to NYC, Chicago, or Boston. Wish they keep this flight at LHR permanently.

I think it's enough now, Pakistan needs to actively and aggressively pursue PIA flight issue with UK authorities.

To begin with or in first phase, one daily flight from PK-UK should chalk out.

Looks like BA continuing LHR ISB flights and not switching back to LGW for W22/23...... hopefully remaining permanently at LHR.
