ISLAMABAD: British Airways (BA) has suspending flight operations to Islamabad because of its ‘operational reasons’ from June 15 to 30.
The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) rejected media reports about the non-availability of fuel at the Islamabad International Airport terming them ‘incorrect.’
“The Station Manager of British Airways at Islamabad Airport telephonically informed the Airport Manager PCAA Islamabad that flights to Islamabad will continue to operate till 15th June,” the authority said in a statement.
However, due to operational reasons, it said British Airways had suspended the flights to Islamabad from June 15-30, adding “the suspension of flights is only due to operational reasons of British Airways.”
The PCAA said it had also sought a report from the supplier of aviation fuel at Islamabad Airport who confirmed that there is no shortage of fuel and storage tanks are full.
The authority said the British Airways management would soon issue a clarification in this regard, adding the local management of British Airways at Islamabad is in coordination with Airport Manager PCAA Islamabad.
