(TAN): British Airways will begin flying from Heathrow to Lahore, Pakistan, four times a week from October 12, the airline has announced. The ‘City of Gardens’, Lahore, is known for its rich culture and will be the second city in Pakistan that British Airways will operate to, following the relaunch of services to Islamabad.
Flights will be operated by a Boeing 787-8 departing from Heathrow Terminal 5, landing into Lahore’s International Airport.
Neil Chernoff, British Airways’ director of network and alliances, said, “We are delighted to be starting direct flights to Lahore, connecting London with Pakistan’s two biggest cities, following the relaunch of our services to Islamabad.”

“Our new flights will give us the opportunity to open up more of Pakistan to travellers from the UK, so they can experience its delights and rich culture. We also think this will be hugely popular with the British Pakistani community,” he said.
For those customers flying to or from Lahore, the flights have been conveniently timed to allow seamless connections with flights serving the US and Canada.
