Pakistan International Airlines announces special discount for students

In an effort to promote goodwill and support the academic pursuits of students, Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has introduced an enticing offer in celebration of International Students Day. 

The national flag carrier is now offering an exclusive 20 per cent discount, along with an impressive 80 kg luggage allowance, for students traveling on its flights to China. 

This special promotion is part of PIA’s ongoing initiatives to attract passengers and rejuvenate its operations following significant financial challenges caused by fuel shortages.  

It is noteworthy that the airline resumed its weekly flights to China in August, re-establishing the Islamabad-Beijing-Islamabad route. 

Students, being a crucial demographic for air travel, can now enjoy substantial cost savings as they embark on their educational journeys or return home for holidays. 

This offer is particularly advantageous for those traveling the Islamabad-Beijing route, with the weekly flight taking place every Sunday.  

PIA is also considering extending students’ baggage allowance when traveling between Pakistan and China, providing an additional benefit to those taking advantage of this limited-time offer. 

This announcement follows PIA’s recent initiatives to attract passengers, such as a 15 per cent discount on tickets for flights from Toronto to Pakistan.  

Additionally, the airline recently reduced ticket prices for Umrah by up to Rs6,000, showcasing a concerted effort to meet diverse passenger needs and preferences.
