PIA suspends Saidu Sharif flights months after resumption

Swat

Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has suspended its flights to and from Swat’s Saidu Shrif airport, rendering it non-operational again.

The national flag carrier cancelled Islamabad-Saidu Sharif flights due to lack of the required number of passengers.

In March, the Saidu Sharif airport was made opera-tional on a request by the airline. PIA’s inaugural flight had landed at the airport on March 26, mark-ing resumption of flights to Saidu Sharif after 17 years.

The national airline had announced to operate two flights from Lahore and Islamabad to Saidu Sharif in a week.
