PKT to AKST Converter

Converting Pakistan Standard Time to Alaska Standard Time

Pakistan Standard Time (PKT) and Alaska Standard Time (AKST) are separated by a 14 hours time difference. AKST is 14 hours behind PKT. PKT is UTC+5, used in Pakistan, while AKST is UTC-9, used in United States.

When converting from PKT to AKST, the key reference points to remember are: 9:00 AM PKT equals 7:00 PM AKST, 12:00 PM noon PKT equals 10:00 PM AKST, and 5:00 PM PKT equals 3:00 AM AKST. The conversion table above shows every hour of the day mapped between these two time zones.

Scheduling Across PKT and AKST

For professionals scheduling meetings between PKT and AKST, finding overlapping business hours is essential. Standard business hours are typically 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM in each time zone. Given the 14 hours difference, the window of overlap may be limited, making early morning or late evening calls necessary for one party. Use the highlighted working hours in the conversion table above to quickly identify suitable meeting times.

Daylight Saving Time Considerations

PKT does not observe Daylight Saving Time, maintaining UTC+5 year-round. AKST observes DST, switching to AKDT (UTC-8). During DST transitions, the time difference between these zones may temporarily change by 1 hour. Always verify the current offset during spring and fall transition periods.
