“Lahore-New Delhi flights are operating normally, however due to very poor load during last three to four weeks few of the Karachi-New Delhi and Karachi-Mumbai flights have been cancelled,” PIA said in a statement. “Passengers who had reservations on these cancelled flights have either been accommodated on PIA’s subsequent flights or re-routed to Pakistan through other airlines,” it said.

PIA is the lone carrier maintaining direct air connectivity between India and Pakistan.

The government has been considering stepping-up surveillance and vigil of PIA flights that land in Delhi and Mumbai after the Uri terrorist attack, HT had reported. No Indian carrier flies to Pakistan. The government is also considering reviewing air links with Pakistan.
