KARACHI: Pakistan’s national flag carrier Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has received approval to operate two daily flights to the United Arab Emirates. According to airline sources PIA is currently operating one daily flight to Dubai and one to Abu Dhabi.
Sources further confirmed that PIA’s flights to Riyadh and Madinah are continuing as per routine schedule without disruption. However flights to Dammam have been temporarily suspended following a missile attack incident in Bahrain. Airline officials expressed hope that operations to Dammam will resume soon once the situation stabilizes.
Due to regional security concerns, PIA has adjusted several of its international routes. Flights bound for Saudi Arabia are currently operating via the Arabian Sea and passing through Yemeni airspace. Meanwhile services to Europe and Canada are being routed through Afghanistan’s Wakhan corridor and Tajikistan to ensure passenger safety.
The airline stated that all route adjustments are being made in accordance with international aviation safety protocols.
