Pakistan’s Airblue Airlines Launches UK Flights and Job Openings at Manchester

After PIA recently completed its last scheduled flight to Paris, another Pakistani airline, Airblue, is now stepping up to expand its international operations.
Airblue is planning to launch new routes to the United Kingdom, targeting London Luton and Manchester. These additions aim to tap into the growing demand for travel between Pakistan and the UK. Reports suggest that Airblue intends to start a twice-weekly Manchester service, although regulatory hurdles must first be addressed before the flights can take off.
To support its UK operations, Airblue has begun hiring for key positions. The airline is actively recruiting for the role of Assistant Manager Terminal – Customer Services at London Luton Airport and Manchester Airport. This move underscores Airblue’s commitment to delivering efficient and seamless services as it prepares to compete in the UK-Pakistan travel market.

- Strong public relations skills with airport agencies.
- Proficiency in MS Office and report writing.
