PIA 'likely' to suspend Karachi to Mumbai flights: sources

PIA is suspending but is Shaheen air and Indus Air and other parasites like that are also suspending their operations to India? I don't know why I am smelling corruption in all this.

there are only PIA flights between Pakistana dn India. No other airline (indian or Pakistani) flies between the countries

And I dont think these flights will be that much financially viable. not much traffic between the countries.

the normal people with families on both sides of the border can take the bus or train. And the "Liberal Elites" who want "better relations" with Pakistan can afford to go via Dubai

With tension brewing on border between India and Pakistan, the Pakistan International Airlines (PIA), which operates a weekly flight between Mumbai and Karachi, will suspend its service from May 11.

The national flag carrier of Pakistan operates the flight on every Thursday.

"Pakistan International Airlines, in a communication to authorities concerned, has said that its Karachi-Mumbai flight will not be open for sale (bookings) from May 11," a company associated with the flight operation told PTI here

However, the PIA communication did not specify the reason for the suspension of its flight service, a company official said.

"Apart from the current situation (prevailing tension between India-Pakistan), the suspension of the service might be due to commercial reasons as well," the official said.

The airline did not operate its service yesterday as well, he said.

However, the Pakistan airline had informed the relevant authorities about the non-operation of service on May 4 in a communication last month, the official said.
