KARACHI (Dunya News) – Pakistan International Airlines’ (PIA) administration late Saturday night has partially restored its flight operations with two flights departing for Jeddah as soon as the operations were resumed. The Federal government welcomed the move for resumption of flight operations.
According to the Spokesperson for the Federal government, the decision by PIA employees to resume duties, even though partially, was praiseworthy. He hoped that complete operations of the organization will be restored soon.
Both flights, PK-749 and PK-7239, which are en route to Jeddah, will be bringing back the country’s 800 pilgrims from Saudi Arabia who had initially gone to offer Umrah.
The pilots, crew and ground staff of both flights belong to PIA. Both, Chairman PIA and Secretary Civil Aviation Irfan Elahi, saw off the flights themselves while top officials of the national airlines were also present during the flights’ departure.
