Pakistan Increases Inbound International Flights

The number of international flights to Pakistan has increased after a decline in its coronavirus cases.

A statement issued by the National Command and Operation Centre (NCOC) revealed that the number of inbound travelers has increased from 4,000 to 8,000 on a daily basis from 15 June onwards.

The authorities have also increased flights from Britain, Europe, Canada, China, and Malaysia by 40 percent.
