PIA also provided two of the airline’s first aircraft as well and provided teaching services to Emirates’ cabin staff in its academies at Karachi and thus played a vital role in its establishment. The airline’s first flight was from Dubai to Karachi was in October 1985. In the following years, the airline grew in both fleet volume and destinations served. The airline in 1987 added Amman, Dhaka, Colombo, Cairo, London, Frankfurt and Male among eleven other destinations.
