Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) on Thursday has decided to operate flights from Lahore to Peshawar.
According to the PIA spokesperson, weekly two flights will be operated between Lahore to Peshawar from October 1. The first flight will take off for Peshawar from Lahore airport on October 1 at 11.40 am.
The flights would be operated on Monday and Friday every week, the spokesperson said and added that ATR planes will be used for the flight operations.
On Wednesday, the Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) of the Cabinet approved $130 million cash support for the national carrier.
The ECC was informed that the airline has experienced a significant decline in revenues and cash flows due to pandemic and unprecedented travel bans and lockdowns imposed by various countries.
The committee also approved the enhancement of the existing approved guarantee enabling PIA to overcome its financial challenges.
Earlier in the day, the new Afghan government had contacted the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) and sought permission for scheduled flights for Afghanistan Airlines Ariana and Kam Air.
