Pakistan International Airlines (Pakistan International Airlines) has temporarily suspended its flight operations to several Gulf destinations due to the evolving security situation in the Middle East.

A PIA spokesperson said flights to the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Doha, and Kuwait have been suspended with immediate effect.

The suspension will initially remain in place until Tuesday evening or until the reopening of relevant airspace.

The airline said the decision was taken after reviewing the prevailing regional situation. No final timeline for resumption has been set, and operations will be reviewed as conditions evolve or new advisories are issued.

Flights to Saudi Arabia will continue, though routes have been changed.

To ensure passenger safety and operational continuity, these flights have been shifted to Boeing 777 aircraft and will operate via longer routings.

PIA advised passengers to stay in contact with official channels for the latest updates on their flights.
