ISLAMABAD – Pakistan International Airlines has temporarily suspended its flights to Fujairah for the next two days due to the current security situation in the Gulf region.
The airline said in a statement that the move was taken as a precaution in response to rising security concerns affecting several Gulf countries, and that the suspension of operations was effective immediately.
A PIA spokesperson confirmed that flights to Fujairah have been suspended but flights to the UAE city of Al Ain will continue uninterrupted. For now, Al Ain will be the only destination served by the airline in the UAE.
Passengers should check for the latest flight updates and contact the airline office if they need assistance with travel arrangements.
A day earlier, a PIA flight traveling from Fujairah to Lahore was diverted to Karachi late at night after a technical issue occurred during the trip.
Flight PK-178 experienced issues related to cabin pressure during the flight, according to an airline spokesperson. In response, the pilot lowered the aircraft’s altitude to 10,000 feet as a safety measure.
The plane then landed safely at Karachi Airport with no reported injuries.
A team of PIA engineers began working overnight to correct the defects and ensure the aircraft’s readiness for further operations.
