Dubai is ready to repatriate stranded Pakistanis in the Emirate via its airlines”, the official associated with the reparation process confirmed on the condition of anonymity.
The official further revealed that Dubai authorities have been waiting for the approval of the Pakistani government to start the operations of UAE based airlines from Dubai to Pakistan.
Pakistan diplomats in Dubai also confirmed that local authorities have requested Pakistan government via its diplomatic channels that they could help to repatriate stranded Pakistanis in very swift and speedy sessions with their airlines.
An aviation expert working with the Dubai Airport said the local authorities can evacuate more than 5,000 passengers in a day from Dubai to Pakistan.
“The local authorities extended their support for repatriation last month too but our government did not have appropriate and sufficient quarantine facilities back home at that time”, a senior diplomat stated, hoping that the repatriation process would be reshaped and expedited soon.–NBR
