International Flights may resume before October – Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika says

The Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika, has said that international flights in and out of the country may resume before October.

Sirika revealed this in a tweet while dismissing reports the resumption date has been set.

International flights have been suspended in the country since March 23 in a bid to contain the spread of the COVID-19.

His tweet reads

''International Flight resumption date is not October. NAMA just issued a routine 90 day Notices to Airmen (NOTAM). In liaison with Health, Foreign Affairs & PTF COVID-19, we will announce the agreed date, regardless of the ban by Europe, UAE etc. May be earlier than October.''

 Domestic flights resumed in June after they were banned in March.
