Etihad Airways to resume Pakistan flights
The Etihad Airways said that it would resume its flight operations from Pakistan with a flight to Abu Dhabi.
The UAE-based airline had suspended flights to and from Pakistan apparently after some passengers who had travelled to Hong Kong by another airliner were tested positive for the potentially deadly disease.
The airline said that it would now operate 12 flights a week from Pakistan, seven of them from Lahore, two from Islamabad and three from Karachi.
The Pakistani passengers must have a copy of a PCR test before travelling that (s)he should be able to produce before boarding, said the airline.
The result of the Covid-19 medical test should have been issued no more than 96 hours prior to arriving in Abu Dhabi. However, children of up to 12 years don’t need to complete the PCR test if they travel with their parents.
The airline had initially suspended its flights to and from Pakistan on March 21 to contain the spread of the novel coronavirus. It resumed its two weekly flights from Karachi and Lahore on June 13 but then came the suspension late last month.
