During his visit, Arshad Malik held meetings with the chief executive officer (CEO) and chairman of the Turkish Airlines. The PIA and Turkish Airlines have agreed to extend code-share agreement for the restoration of the national carrier’s flights to Europe.
The high-ups of Turkish Airlines requested the PIA CEO for collaboration in cargo services. Malik and Turkish officials also discussed plans for initiating flight operations to Istanbul and other administrative matters in the meetings.

In July, Turkish Airlines had okayed a code-sharing agreement with the national carrier, PIA. Under the new agreement, the passengers of national carriers could travel to different destinations in the UK and Europe. The foreign airline had shown agreement for code sharing with PIA after accepting the offer of the CEO Air Marshal Arshad Malik in a response letter.
