RAWALPINDI: The Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority (PCCA) has granted permission to Air Arabia of Abu Dhabi to operate four flights to and from Faisalabad and Multan in a week.

In a letter to the company, the PCAA said the competent authority was pleased to authorise Air Arabia of Abu Dhabi to operate four flights to and from Faisalabad and Multan in a week.

Two flights would be operated between Abu Dhabi and Multan and two others between Abu Dhabi and Faisalabad, it said.

Meanwhile, the PCAA has issued a Covid-19 guideline for safe tourism in the country with continuing travel restrictions in addition to random restricted air travel (RAT) for inbound passengers, if the Gilgit-Baltistan government considered it important to ensure safe tourism.

The PCAA had already revised the guideline which took effect from July 1 on air travel to GilgitBaltistan as no boarding would be allowed to passengers over 30 years of age without valid Covid19 vaccination certificates.

Foreign tourists, mountaineers and trekkers on flights to GilgitBaltistan will continue to ensure compliance with all relevant SOPs, including policy on international inbound passengers.
