KARACHI: The Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has suspended its flights to Canada from this month, the airline said on Saturday, citing ‘necessary maintenance’ of its aircraft.
The step was taken for the maintenance of the PIA’s Boeing 777 long-range aircraft, which cross the Atlantic Ocean, according to the Pakistani flag carrier.
These aircraft are capable of flying continuously for 17 hours without stopping.
“The two long-range aircraft will undergo a three-week technical inspection and replacement of parts, which is inevitable after every ten years,” PIA said in a statement.
“The aim of the aircraft repairs at this time is to fully prepare them before the expected passenger rush in the coming month.”
