Virgin's inaugural Manchester to Islamabad service

Services from London operate to Islamabad and Lahore, with Manchester also offering the Pakistan capital.

Juha Jarvinen, the airline’s chief commercial officer, said: “Pakistan boasts a huge opportunity for Virgin Atlantic, particularly as it has one of the largest foreign-born populations in the UK and US, and we anticipate the demand to visit friends and relatives will increase as travel starts to recover post Covid-19.”

Virgin uses Boeing 787s on its Pakistan routes, offering premium economy and Upper Class cabin options.
