Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) reduced the number of flights between Faisalabad to Madinah till January 15, 2026, reported 24NewsHD TV channel on Wednesday.
The flight operation between Faisalabad to Jeddah will remain operational as usual.
Earlier on November 5, 2025, the Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) flight operations across the country came to a halt after aircraft engineers launched a protest against the management reported.
According to sources, the dispute between the national carrier’s management and the Society of Aircraft Engineers of Pakistan (SAEP) intensified, leading engineers to suspend the clearance of aircraft for departure.
The engineers announced they would not resume work until the attitude of the PIA Chief Executive Officer (CEO) improves, sources said. The protest has resulted in the grounding of several domestic and international flights.
The PIA CEO has reportedly directed the Chief HR Officer to take strict disciplinary action against protesting engineers. “Engineers responsible for flight disruptions must face consequences,” the CEO instructed, according to sources within the airline.
