Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) said on Sunday it expects to resume European routes again soon.

The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) suspended PIA's authorisation to operate in the EU in June 2020 after Pakistan began investigating the validity of pilots' licenses following a deadly plane crash that killed 97 people. The EASA also had concerns about the ability of Pakistani authorities and its Civil Aviation Authority (PCAA) to ensure compliance with international aviation standards.

Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) said on Sunday it expects to resume European routes soon and is eyeing several UK destinations after the EU aviation regulator lifted its bar on the flag carrier.
