Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has made the decision to suspend flights to Dubai and Sharjah due to heavy rains impacting the region. The national flag carrier announced on Thursday that flight operations to these destinations would be halted until further notice, citing severe weather conditions.
In a statement, a spokesperson for PIA mentioned that the flight operations for Dubai and Sharjah have been severely affected by the heavy rains. This decision applies not only to PIA flights but also to other airlines operating in the area, with services suspended temporarily.
“Due to the adverse weather conditions, some PIA flights were facing delays and cancellations,” the spokesperson stated. “We are very mindful of the inconvenience this may cause to our passengers. PIA will resume its flight operations promptly as soon as the weather situation improves.”
The heavy rains in the United Arab Emirates on Thursday led to the cancellation and delay of several flights at Dubai International Airport, which is one of the busiest airports globally. Authorities were compelled to take precautionary measures, including ordering remote working and studying in affected areas for Thursday and Friday.
As weather conditions remain unpredictable, PIA advises passengers to stay updated with the latest information regarding their flights and to make necessary arrangements accordingly. The safety and well-being of passengers remain the airline’s top priority, and operations will resume as soon as it is safe to do so.
For travelers planning to fly to or from Dubai and Sharjah, it’s recommended to check with the airline or airport authorities for the latest updates before making any travel arrangements. Stay safe and informed during this period of adverse weather conditions.
