Pakistan: Pakistan International Airlines announce the resumption of normal flight operations as of Oct. 20 /update 1

Event

Flag carrier Pakistan International Airlines (PK) has announced the resumption of normal flight operations nationwide as of Oct. 20. The airline previously canceled at least 24 international and domestic flights from multiple cities, including Islamabad, Karachi, and Lahore, since Oct. 17 after Pakistan State Oil (PSO) suspend fuel supplies over the alleged non-payment of dues.

Residual flight disruptions remain possible over the coming days as the carrier works to clear passenger backlogs.
