Pakistan International Airlines Corporation, commonly known as Pakistan International Airlines or PIA, is the flag carrier airline of Pakistan. The airline has its head office on the grounds of Jinnah International Airport in Karachi. Its main bases are Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad/Rawalpindi.

Pakistan International Airlines was set up on 1 March 1955, after Orient Airways merged with the government's proposed new airline. During the same year the airline opened its first international service, from Karachi to Heathrow Airport via Cairo International Airport and Leonardo da Vinci–Fiumicino Airport in Fiumicino, Italy, using three newly acquired Lockheed L-1049C Super Constellations. The DC-3s continued operating the domestic services in Pakistan. In May 1956, PIA ordered two further Super Lockheed Constellations of the latest L-1049H version and five Vickers Viscount 815.
