PK Airline Code: Pakistan International Airlines IATA & ICAO
Pakistan International Airlines is stored in this dataset as IATA code PK and ICAO code PIA, based in Pakistan. GDS segment lines print the IATA code before the flight number. Live routes, fares and baggage policies are not in this dataset.
Overview
PK is the IATA airline designator stored for Pakistan International Airlines. ICAO is PIA. Country of record: Pakistan. On a cryptic GDS line the IATA code sits immediately before the flight number, for example PK 456. Agents should not confuse PK (two characters, sometimes a digit such as 6E) with PIA (three letters). This code page does not list routes, alliances, baggage rules, or fleet. Those facts are not in the dataset. Other Pakistan carriers stored here: none stored. To decode a full itinerary that markets PK, paste the PNR into the parser.
How to use this page
- Find PK at the start of the flight line in the PNR.
- Paste the full itinerary into the PNR parser (or the GDS-specific parser if you know the host).
- Confirm the carrier name resolves to Pakistan International Airlines.
- Do not add baggage or meal claims that the PNR did not print.
Example
