KARACHI: After weeks of fuel issues, the Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) flight schedule has fully been restored after restoration of fuel supply from Pakistan State Oil (PSO).
A PIA spokesperson on Monday said in a statement that not a single flight of PIA from Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, or any other airport is canceled today. All flights are on time and as per schedule, he added.
The financial crunch and the fuel crisis forced the PIA to cancel over 800 flights in the last three weeks while the national flag carrier suffered a loss of around Rs10 billion.
Earlier on Wednesday, PIA suspended a total of 24 flights including 16 international and 8 domestic. The spokesperson said that 24 flights were suspended due to no fuel supply. According to reports, Pakistan State Oil (PSO) has set a condition of Rs100 million in daily payment for PIA to resume fuel supply.
The spokesperson said the fuel would be supplied to the airline upon payment of Rs100 million daily.
