Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has renewed its International Air Transport Association (IATA) Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) registration. This marks the 12th consecutive time the national carrier has maintained this certification, which is valid until September 11, 2028.

The audit, conducted in June 2026, evaluated flight operations, cabin operations, ground handling, and cargo services to ensure compliance with international safety standards. Although the renewal follows the appointment of Lt. Gen. (Retd.) Anwar Ali Hyder as chairman, the assessment was completed prior to this leadership change. The successful audit is intended to help restore confidence among passengers and international authorities during organizational transitions.
