Pakistan International Airlines and France are highlighting their longstanding cooperation in the aviation sector, with both sides looking to strengthen ties and support the airline’s future.
French Ambassador to Pakistan Jean-Noël Poirier recently met with PIA Chief Executive Officer Air Vice Marshal Muhammad Amir Hayat to discuss continued cooperation between France and Pakistan’s national carrier.
During the meeting, Ambassador Poirier reaffirmed France’s commitment to supporting PIA over the long term, signaling continued engagement between French aviation stakeholders and the airline.
The partnership also includes cooperation in aviation safety and professional standards. France’s Civil Aviation Authority has been supporting PIA in adopting international best practices and maintaining aviation safety standards.
Airbus aircraft also make up around 70 percent of PIA’s fleet, while the airline currently operates direct flights between Pakistan and Paris twice a week.
The cooperation extends beyond aviation, with France and PIA also supporting educational and cultural exchanges between the two countries.
The latest meeting reflects efforts to maintain and expand Pakistan-France aviation ties, with both sides emphasizing continued cooperation and opportunities for further collaboration in the months ahead.
