Virgin Atlantic, a British airline, has declared that it will cease flights between the United Kingdom and Pakistan.
The British airline cited “low yield operations” as the cause for the closure, citing the need to make a few adjustments. This decision was made only two years after the airline began service between Heathrow, Islamabad, and Lahore.
Due to social distancing procedures, the Covid regulations hindered the ordinary operation of airlines in conventional markets in the United States and other nations when Virgin Atlantic began operations.
A spokeswoman for Virgin Atlantic expressed sadness over the airline’s decision to cease operations between Pakistan and the United Kingdom.
“This is not a decision we have made lightly, and we apologise for any inconvenience,” Virgin Atlantic said in a statement, thanking Pakistani customers, teams, partners, and authorities for their support over the last two years.”
The official emphasised that suspending services to the South Asian nation will guarantee that its resources are “utilised in the most efficient manner possible to achieve operational resilience.”
According to the company’s declared itinerary, Virgin Atlantic’s final flight would take off on July 9.
As a result of the bogus degree scandal, Pakistan International Airlines has been prohibited from flying flights to the United Kingdom and Europe.
