Lufthansa, a member of the Star Alliance Network, relaunched in Pakistan in 2007 after it rolled back its operations from the country in 1998.
Just one year later in October 2008, the German flag carrier announced that it would stop all its flight operations in Karachi and Lahore for unspecified commercial reasons. It was all the same year British Airways stopped its operations in Pakistan.
In December 2018, British Airways announced resuming its flight operations in Pakistan from June 2019.
