Etihad Airways resumes Abu Dhabi–Peshawar flights after 11 years

KARACHI: Etihad Airways resumed flights to Peshawar in northwestern Pakistan on Monday after an 11-year suspension, the Pakistan Airports Authority (PAA) said, marking a significant expansion of the United Arab Emirates carrier’s network in South Asia. The Abu Dhabi–Peshawar route was halted in 2014 after a Pakistan International Airlines flight arriving from Saudi Arabia was fired upon while landing at Bacha Khan International Airport, killing a passenger. Etihad and Emirates both suspended operations in the wake of the incident at a time of heightened militant violence in the region.
