Prevalent fog, smog and cloudy conditions in parts of Punjab have forced Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) to change its flight schedule once again.
PIA has been rescheduling flights since Sunday, and a number of PIA’s domestic and international flights were also rescheduled or canceled on Wednesday due to unsuitable aviation conditions.
