On Monday, PIA’s flight PK-6249 became the first commercial airline to land in the Afghan capital, Kabul, after the Taliban formed a government after a 20-year war. PIA is the national airline of Pakistan, which operates flights nationally and internationally and also played a key role in the evacuation of foreigners from Afghanistan.
Unlike other airlines, right till the end, Pakistan’s national flag carrier was the only commercial airline connecting and evacuating foreigners stranded in Afghanistan. However, inadequate facilities and garbage on the runway became an obstacle for flight operations at the airport.
