Travel advisory for domestic, international flights revised

ISLAMABAD: The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) on Sunday revised travel advisory for domestic and international flights, a private TV channel reported.  

As per the new rules, the authority has revoked the mandatory requirement of wearing face masks.

“Wearing face masks onboard domestic and international flights no longer mandatory, but still preferable,” CAA said in a post shared on its official Twitter handle.

The development comes after the National Command and Operation Centre (NCOC) revoked the mandatory requirement of wearing face masks.

“Amid declining COVID-19 trend across the country, mask-wearing as a part of non-pharmaceutical interventions is no longer a mandatory requirement during domestic and international travel; however, still preferable,” a notification issued by NCOC read.
