Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has reduced the frequency of its flights from Karachi to Delhi and Mumbai.
The Economic Times reports that the decision was taken due to low passenger demand following the terrorist attacks in Uri, Jammu & Kashmir, on 18 September 2016.
A statement issued by Pakistan’s national carrier on Saturday said; “[A] PIA spokesman has clarified that Lahore-Delhi flights are operating normally. However, due to very poor load during last three to four weeks, few of the Karachi-Delhi and Karachi-Mumbai are being cancelled.
“Passengers who had reservations on these cancelled flights have either been accommodated on PIA’s subsequent flights or rerouted to Pakistan through other airlines,” it added.
No Indian airlines currently fly to Pakistan, so any replacement flights would have to operate via another country.
PIA previously operated five weekly flights to India – one on Delhi-Karachi route and two each on Delhi-Lahore and Mumbai-Karachi sectors.
