The air transport department through a NOTAM (Notice to Airmen) has allowed the foreign airlines to increase flights up to 50 per cent from July 15.

“In view of the recent improvement in Covid-19 situation in various parts of the world, the government of Pakistan has increased the international flight operation up to 50 per cent. This increase in flight schedule will be implemented w effect from from July 15, it said
