ISLAMABAD - Pakistan State Oil (PSO) has suspended oil supply to Pakistan International Airlines (PIA), causing a disturbance in its flight operation at Allama Iqbal International Airport.
As per reports, PSO halted fuel supply to the national flag carrier due to the non-payment of impending dues. As a result, PIA’s flight PK-305 (Lahore-Karachi) and PK-652 (Lahore-Islamabad) were canceled at Lahore airport. ------------------------------
PIA spokesperson Mashood Tajwar issued a statement on Tuesday in this regard. He said that the flights were stopped due to non-provision of oil. He, however, mentioned that both national organizations are holding talks to resolve the conflict.
This is the second time in one year that the state-owned oil company has suspended the fuel supply to the national flag-carrier.
