About AKST
Alaska Standard Time (AKST) is UTC−9. It is used in Anchorage and the rest of Alaska in winter.
Alaska Standard Time is UTC−9, one hour behind Pacific Standard Time. Alaska observes daylight saving on the US schedule, moving to AKDT at UTC−8 in summer. The state is wide enough to span four time zones geographically and chooses to run on one for practical reasons, which is why the sun can rise at very different clock times at either end of it.
About PKT
Pakistan Standard Time (PKT) is UTC+5. It is used in Pakistan, all year.
Pakistan Standard Time is UTC+5 and does not change through the year — daylight saving has been tried twice and abandoned twice. It sits half an hour behind India, which is the only pair of neighbouring countries in the region separated by a half-hour step rather than a whole one, and a common source of missed calls across that border.
Does this gap change with the seasons?
Neither AKST nor PKT shifts with the seasons, so this 14-hour difference holds all year. That is unusual enough to be worth relying on: most cross-continental gaps move twice a year.
This is the reason scheduling systems store an IANA zone such as Region/City rather than an offset or an abbreviation: the zone knows its own rules and the offset does not.
Frequently asked questions
What time is 9:00 AM AKST in PKT?
9:00 AM AKST is 11:00 PM PKT.
Is PKT ahead of AKST?
PKT is 14 hours ahead of AKST.
Which time zone does this use?
AKST is UTC−9 and PKT is UTC+5. Both abbreviations denote a single fixed offset, so this conversion never shifts with daylight saving — what changes is which abbreviation a place is using at the time.
