CEO PIA Arshad Malik issues instructions for KSA flights
According to the previous report from Baaghi TV, there were 75 PIA flights per week (Jeddah 42, Riyadh 13, Madinah 12 and Dammam 8), which were reduced to 22 (Jeddah 7, Riyadh 7, Madinah 4 and Dammam 4) during the pandemic COVID-19.
Due to the limited number of PIA flights, most of the Pakistani nationals were facing difficulty to reach Saudi Arabia, who possessed valid visas for Saudi Arabia.
The case of special flights to Saudi Arabia
The matter was taken-up with Saudi Authorities and they have allowed operating 21 additional PIA flights (Jeddah 10, Madinah 6 and Dammam 5 flights) from 25-30 September 2020.
The matter is also under consideration of Saudi Authorities for more additional flights from 1st October to 30 October 2020.
