Dubai - The Civil Aviation Authority in Pakistan has allowed international carriers to carry passengers out of Pakistan.

Gulf Air, the national carrier of Bahrain, on Saturday, May 30, said it will resume regular operations to Pakistan from Sunday, May 31, with direct flights to Islamabad while flights from other cities will be added in coming days.
The Civil Aviation Authority in Pakistan has allowed international carriers to carry passengers out of Pakistan.
Due to the Novel Coronavirus Covid-19 outbreak, Gulf Air has temporarily suspended all flights to its 7 destinations in Pakistan - Islamabad, Lahore, Karachi, Faisalabad, Multan, Sialkot and Peshawar - in compliance with the order from the Civil Aviation Authority in The Islamic Republic of Pakistan from March 21, 2020.
The airline, being one of the few airlines regionally and globally to operate scheduled flights during the outbreak, has shown flexibility and agility to the government orders, civil aviation directives and airport closures around its network and has been responsive to continuous changes and updates regarding operations to and from its network destinations. Gulf Air will continue to monitor the readiness of airports and plan the resumption of its operation to most of its network.
