Seems 1 X daily PIA slot is leased to SV until 28th March 2025. You can see the details on the below link.

It may be better for PIA to restart to Gatwick instead of Heathrow
Thanks for sharing. Correct me if wrong, but doesn’t this mean PIA still has the slot but it is exchanged with Saudia from evening to late night? Or am I reading it wrong?

I don’t think PIA is starting London flights till April/May so this shouldn’t matter. They will start Manchester flights in March I guess, however it will be Ramadan so i’m expecting loads to be below 60%

🇵🇰PIA has just gained slots back at London Heathrow after leasing them to 🇻🇳Vietnam Airlines.

They also leased slots to 🇸🇦Saudia and 🇹🇷Turkish Airlines

It is hoped that once they get the slots back, they will be able to resume flights to London Heathrow.
