Tickets for UAE-Pakistan flights yet to be available

Tickets for UAE-Pakistan flights to be available as airlines await approval. Though international flight restrictions were eased in Pakistan on Saturday, stranded Pakistanis are still waiting for tickets to be available - as airlines are to receive approvals for special flights, sources said.. Aviation sources said more special flights from the UAE and other Gulf countries are expected to start this week, but only after they receive approvals from the authorities.. "No additional special flight was scheduled for Pakistan from the UAE, despite the easing of restrictions from Islamabad.. The airlines are to meet the criteria to operate these special flights under the standard operating procedures of Pakistan and the other countries," aviation sources told Khaleej Times on Saturday.. As many as five special flights were set to take off on Saturday, as per the schedule announced by Ministry of Overseas Pakistanis and Human Resource Development.. "It's a welcome step that Pakistan has opened its airspace, but other countries still have restrictions on international flights.. There will be a gradual resumption of flight operations to Pakistan, and the airlines may take couple of days to announce their flight schedules," airline officials said.. More than 80,000 stranded Pakistanis in the UAE
