The new airline was initially a pilot project, registered in Calcutta as Orient Airways Ltd., on 23rd October 1946. Later, Orient Airways transferred its base to Pakistan. With a skeleton fleet of just two DC-3s, three crew and twelve mechanics, Orient Airways launched its scheduled operations.

Orient Airways was a privately owned company. Government of Pakistan decided to form a state-owned airline and invited Orient Airways to merge with it. The outcome of the merger was the birth of a new airline, named Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) on 11 March, 1955.

At present, PIA operates to 70 destinations (38 international and 37 domestic) in countries spread over 4 continents of the globe.
