Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) on Wednesday said that the rapid PCR test facility will be available from August 12, 2021, for passengers flying to Dubai.

All airlines, including Pakistan International Airlines, are trying to arrange this facility at airports across the country for UAE-bound passengers - after rapid PCR test four hours prior to flight was made mandatory by UAE authorities.
