ISLAMABAD, April 3 (NNN-AGENCIES) — While most airlines are grounding planes, Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has been given permission to run several routes.
PIA will run a total of 17 international flights on April 4-11. They will mainly be going between Islamabad and London, Manchester, Birmingham and Toronto.
Flights were suspended two weeks ago with just a few hours notice as the country went into lockdown.
A number of British families have been left stranded in Pakistan and had called on the UK government to get them home.
One man, a UK National Health Service (NHS) consultant, said he wanted to return as soon as possible to support his colleagues in Liverpool.
“I want to be there with my team, as frontline staff, being able to offer as much as I can in this war against coronavirus.”
Pakistan has registered 2,291 cases, including 31 deaths. — NNN-AGENCIES
