PIA to suspend Mumbai-Karachi flight

Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) on Friday indicated that it may suspend its Mumbai-Karachi flight from May 11. Though the exact reason could not be ascertained, sources said the decision could have been taken due to the growing tensions between India and Pakistan. Sources, however, did not rule out that it may be a commercially viable option for the airline. The national flag carrier of Pakistan operates the flight on Thursdays.

“PIA, in a communication, has said that its Karachi-Mumbai flight will not be open for sale (bookings) from May 11,” a sources said.
