The decision to resume flights comes after a temporary suspension due to forecasted heavy rains in the UAE.
According to a spokesperson for PIA, the national airline had temporarily halted its flight operations as a precautionary measure in light of the adverse weather conditions in the UAE. However, with the improvement in weather conditions, PIA has resumed its regular flight schedule to destinations in the UAE.

Passengers who were affected by the cancellation of flights are advised to contact PIA's call centre for assistance with rebooking or refunds. The airline is working diligently to accommodate affected passengers and ensure minimal disruption to travel plans.
On Thursday, bad weather throughout the United Arab Emirates (UAE) caused Emirates to cancel a number of flights. There have also been fewer flights at Dubai International Airport (DXB).
Emirates released a statement, saying, “Customers arriving or departing from Dubai airport on May 2 can expect some delays as flights are rescheduled."
