Maintaining its tradition of delayed flights, Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) began its post-Hajj operation as three flights brought 1,281 Hajj pilgrims back home.

PIA’s first hajj flight PK-2503 arrived in Islamabad two hours late while flight PK-2102 reached Peshawar with a delay of five hours.

A large number of people were present to welcome their relatives at Islamabad, Karachi and Peshawar airports.

Pilgrims complained about the poor accommodation and transportation in Saudi Arabia. However, they said that PIA managed to improve its services this year.
