LAHORE – Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has decided to partially continue its flight operations to help bring back citizens stranded abroad.
In the first stage of operations, PIA will bring back a limited number of Pakistani travelers, the PIA spokesperson said in an announcement on Wednesday.
The national flight carrier will initially fly stranded passengers from Canada and the UK who were meant to travel to Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad, he said.
Furthermore, Special Assistant to the PM on National Security Moeed Yusuf, in his briefing earlier in the day, said that from April 3-11, 17 PIA flights will fly to several countries, and special flights will go to places where our nationals are stranded.
“The biggest concern of ours is testing the people coming in to the country. The technical staff has said that we can bring in 2,000 passengers right now,” he said.
