The Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) and other private airlines had to cancel multiple flights from Karachi due to low bookings, reported local media.
According to details, as many as 19 flights of different airlines scheduled to travel from Karachi to Islamabad and Dubai were canceled. It included Air Sial and PIA as well as an Emirates Air flight.
Furthermore, Fly Jinnah’s flight from Karachi to Lahore and Fly Baghdad’s service from Karachi to Baghdad were also canceled. Passengers who had booked tickets for PIA’s flights from Karachi to Jeddah and Karachi to Islamabad were affected by the cancellations too.
According to sources from the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), the cancellations were mainly due to the low passenger loads, particularly during the holy month of Ramadan. Flights were canceled as a response to the decreased demand for air travel witnessed during this period.
The affected passengers were advised to reach out to their respective airlines for additional support and alternative travel options.
