Several emirate airlines announced the cancellation of flights to Pakistan, particularly in the northern part of the country due to the closure of airspace because of military activity in the region. Flydubai advised passengers whose flights were canceled not to travel to Pakistani airports.
On the other hand, the airline confirmed that flights to/from Karachi are not affected and will continue as scheduled. Emirates also recommended that passengers check for updated information on their flights.
A Flydubai representative stated that the company continues its flights to Karachi and Multan from May 7 as scheduled, and has also resumed flights to Faisalabad, Lahore, and Sialkot. The situation will be closely monitored and adjustments to the schedule will be made depending on the circumstances.
Emirates, for its part, reported the cancellation of 10 flights in the Sialkot, Lahore, Islamabad, and Peshawar regions due to the closure of airspace in northern Pakistan. This decision has impacted various airlines. The safety of passengers and crew remains the main priority.
Emirates has contacted its clients urging them to get in touch with the Flydubai contact center in Dubai or their travel agents to find out about the possibilities of rebooking or refunding ticket costs. Passengers are also encouraged to update their contact information and monitor the status of their flights on the official flydubai.com website for the latest information.
