Lahore: Pakistan's national carrier has reduced the number of flights to and from India by over 60 % due to low passenger traffic and shortage of aircraft.
"We have cut down our operations temporarily to and from India by 66 %, primarily because of shortage of aircraft and reduction in passengers," Pakistan International Airlines spokesman Mashhood Tajwar said on Wednesday.
PIA will now operate only four flights a week to India as against 12 earlier.
"Karachi to Delhi, Delhi to Karachi (four flights), Karachi to Mumbai, Mumbai to Karachi (two flights) and Lahore to Delhi and Delhi to Lahore (two flights) will no longer operate," he said.
"PIA will now operate only two flights from Lahore to Delhi and Delhi to Lahore and Karachi to Mumbai and Mumbai to Karachi."
