PIA has temporarily suspended its flight operations to four Gulf countries Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait and Dubai due to the rising tensions in the region. The decision was made to ensure passenger safety and follows the airline’s internal review of current security and airspace conditions.
This suspension affects both incoming and outgoing flights between Pakistan and these countries. Passengers who had confirmed bookings are being notified and will be offered refunds or rescheduling options, depending on how the situation develops.
PIA officials said the move is temporary and will be reviewed regularly based on updates from civil aviation authorities and regional developments. They added that the airline is closely monitoring the situation and is in touch with relevant international bodies to determine when it will be safe to resume normal services.
Travelers who were planning to visit these countries are advised to stay in contact with the PIA customer service team or visit the official website for updates. Those who urgently need to travel are being asked to consider alternative routes, though limited options may be available.
This step reflects PIA’s commitment to prioritizing passenger safety and making decisions based on the best available information. As regional tensions continue, the airline will update its travel plans accordingly and inform the public about any changes.
For now, travelers are encouraged to stay patient and informed as PIA works to restore operations as soon as conditions allow.
