12:34PM Fri 5 May, 2017
MUMBAI: Pakistan International Airlines (PIA), which operates a weekly flight between Mumbai and Karachi, will suspend its service from May 11.
The national flag carrier of Pakistan operates the flight on every Thursday.
"Pakistan International Airlines, in a communication to authorities concerned, has said that its Karachi-Mumbai flight will not be open for sale (bookings) from May 11," a company associated with the flight operation told PTI here.
However, the PIA communication did not specify the reason for the suspension of its flight service, a company official said.
"Apart from the current situation (prevailing tension between India-Pakistan), the suspension of the service might be due to commercial reasons as well," the official said.
However, the Pakistan airline had informed the relevant authorities about the non-operation of service on May 4 in a communication last month, the official said.
The airline did not operate its service yesterday as well, he said.
