Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) welcomed its first Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner in Islamabad, per Tribune.com.pk. The aircraft, arriving in Norse colours, marks a significant step in PIA's fleet modernization.

The airline's new long-haul capability is expected to boost international connectivity, especially as London flights resume following the aircraft's arrival, Bloomberg reports. This development comes after years of operational challenges for PIA.

Meanwhile, Foreign Minister Balakrishnan praised Singapore's first high-level visit to Pakistan in two decades, as diplomatic ties are being leveraged for broader regional cooperation, Asianews.network notes.

The arrival of the Dreamliner coincides with Pakistan's efforts to enhance its aviation infrastructure and international relations, signaling renewed confidence in its role within global air travel networks.
