ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: The Federal Minister for Aviation Ghulam Sarwar Khan has said that we are considering the direct flight operation between Islamabad and Frankfurt.
In a meeting with Pakistan’s new Ambassador to Germany Dr Mohammad Faisal in Islamabad on Tuesday, the minister said that there is a need for increasing the flight operation between Pakistan and Germany.
The minister also mentioned that few routes were cut down due to fewer aircrafts but now under the new ‘Aviation Policy’, five new aeroplanes were being added to Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) fleet in 2020. He was of the view that the addition of new airplanes would improve the working and flight operation of PIA in Germany.
