Pakistan International Airlines on Monday cancelled at least 27 flights including international and domestic flights due to fuel supply woes. Seven flights from Karachi to Lahore, Rahim Yar Khan and Peshawar have been suspended.
Six flights from Karachi to Multan, Dubai and Islamabad, while four flights from Islamabad to Dubai, Dammam, Medina and Jeddah have also been suspended.
Due to limited fuel supply from Pakistan State Oil, the PIA is focusing on the profitable routes, the spokesperson said. It is to be noted that PSO resumed a limited supply of fuel to Pakistan International Airline after assurance of Rs100 million in daily payment to clear the backlog of the pending dues.
