British Airways To Restart Pakistan Flights As COVID-19 Cases Go Down
July 30, 2020
British Airways on Thursday announced it would restart flights to Pakistan after COVID-19 cases gradually began declining in the Islamic Republic.
In a statement issued by the British High Commission in the capital Islamabad, the airline said resumed direct flights would take off three times a week between Heathrow Airport and Islamabad.
The first flight will land in Islamabad on Aug. 14, taking extra precautionary measures for the safety of its crew and passengers.
“Today’s announcement is another important step in reconnecting the trade ties and people-to-people ties between the UK and Pakistan,” said the statement.
Due to COVID-19, passengers will be required to wear masks and will have access to hand sanitizer during the flight, while crew members will wear masks.
Christian Turner, the British High Commissioner in Islamabad, said the resumption of flights would be important for links between the UK and Pakistan.
“The resumption of British Airways direct flights is a big boost for the hundreds of thousands of travellers who travel regularly between our two great nations, many who have had their travel plans disrupted by the pandemic. I’d like to thank the government of Pakistan, British Airways and my team in Pakistan who have worked hard to deliver this welcome news,” said Turner.
