Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has arranged three more flights to transport Pakistani migrants to the United Kingdom before April 9.
PIA spokesman Abdullah Hafeez said the airline has added two more flights to meet the demand for flights to the UK before the ban; these flights are in addition to the three morning flights. Both flights will take off for Manchester on April 8.
He said due to high demand, more flights have been chartered. The number of additional flights operated by PIA before April 8 has increased to eight while the total number of flights has increased to 13.
The spokesman said due to European Union sanctions, PIA conducted all operations on chartered aircraft, instead of using its own aircraft. Flight operation is aimed at repatriating Pakistani and British nationals affected by the ban as soon as possible.
