The Pakistan International Airline (PIA) has chosen to offer internet access to its customers while they are in the air.
Details indicate that the national carrier has begun installing Wi-Fi facilities and will soon offer passengers internet access.
The companies offering to install the in-flight entertainment system have been asked for recommendations by the PIA management as well.
The internet service will first be available on 10 of PIA’s Boeing 777s, which have been used on longer routes, and 14 AIRBUS A320. The decision was made in consideration of Khawaja Saad Rafique, Minister of Federal Aviation, special instructions.
It was reported earlier in July that the United States (US) has indicated its readiness for direct flights from Pakistan by Pakistan International Airlines (PIA).
Salman Sufi, the head of the prime minister’s strategic reforms unit, made the announcement at a press conference in the US capital.
Sufi claimed that shortly, airport representatives from the FAA will travel to Pakistan to examine the PIA aircraft that will be utilized for US flights.
