PK Flight Schedule: Your Guide to PIA Timetables
“PK” is PIA’s IATA airline code — so a PK flight schedule is simply PIA’s timetable. This guide shows how to find it, read it, and check live status. Note the October 2026 exception: PK Riyadh flights are temporarily suspended; other PK Saudi routes operate normally.
Quick answer: Check the PK (PIA) flight schedule on PIA’s official website/app under “Flight Schedule” or “Flight Status” using your flight number (e.g. PK-753) or route and date. Airport departure boards and your booking agent are backups.

Where to find the PK schedule
- PIA official site/app: the timetable and live status tools — the only authoritative source.
- Flight number search: enter e.g. “PK 753” plus date for that flight’s timing and status.
- Route search: enter origin/destination (e.g. ISB–RUH) for all PK frequencies on the route.
- Airport boards: live departures at islamabadairport.com.pk and equivalents.
Reading a PK schedule entry
| Code | Meaning | |
|---|---|---|
| PK-753 | Flight number (PK = PIA) | |
| ISB 10:10 → RUH 13:15 | Departure and arrival local times | |
| Non-stop / 1 stop | Direct vs connecting | |
| Status: On time / Delayed / Cancelled | Live status — recheck near departure |
The Riyadh exception (October 2026)
PK flights to Riyadh (RUH) are temporarily suspended — they will show as cancelled/unavailable in schedules. This is route-specific, not airline-wide: PK services to Jeddah, Dammam and Madinah appear normally. Full context in the Saudi flights update.
PIA’s fleet and network
PIA — the PK code — operates a mixed fleet of Boeings and Airbuses on domestic trunk routes (Karachi–Lahore–Islamabad–Peshawar–Quetta) and international sectors to the Gulf, UK, Europe and beyond. The fleet’s composition shifts with leases and retirements, so the schedule’s aircraft type for your flight is confirmed at booking.
Domestic frequencies are highest on the Karachi–Islamabad–Lahore triangle — multiple daily flights — thinning to daily or less on smaller sectors. Internationally, the Gulf and Saudi Arabia dominate the timetable, reflecting where Pakistanis actually fly.
Codeshares and what they mean for your ticket
A “PK” flight number doesn’t always mean a PIA aircraft. Codeshare agreements let airlines sell seats on partners’ flights under their own code — so PK-7xx might be operated by a partner airline.
Why it matters: the operating carrier’s baggage rules, on-time performance and service standards apply — not the marketing carrier’s. Your booking confirmation names the operator; check it, especially for baggage allowances on interline itineraries.
