Domestic flight operations resumed in the country!

Domestic flight operations resumed in the country from five major airports on Saturday, as the country continued to gradually ease lockdown measures.

The first Pakistan International Airline (PIA) flight carrying 84 passengers departed from Karachi for Lahore at 1 pm, along with flights for Lahore and Islamabad operated by a private airline.

SOPs are strictly being observed to avoid the spread of the coronavirus.

The five major airports allowed to restart operations include Karachi’s Jinnah International Airport, Lahore’s Allama Iqbal International Airport, Islamabad International Airport (IIAP), Quetta International Airport, and Peshawar’s Bacha Khan International Airport.

Sarwar had said social distancing will be followed based on available seats and flights will only be allowed to fill 50% of their full capacity.

“Passengers will be provided the opportunity to travel safely,” he had added.

Passengers will be required to fill health declaration forms before boarding the airplane and subjected to thermal scanning on entry and exit into and from a city. All luggage will be disinfected and no meet and greet will be allowed at the airport.
