Islamabad (HRNW) The Pakistan International Airline has decided to run two special flights to Poland on Sunday, February 26. They will bring back Pakistanis evacuated from war-torn Ukraine.
On Saturday, Air Marshal Arshad Malik, CEO of the national carrier, said the airplanes will land in Poland’s capital Warsaw after Pakistanis are transported there from Ukraine.
“PIA is in contact with the Pakistan embassy and its officials,” he assured, adding that two flights are being run because cities bordering Poland and Ukraine don’t have airports that can accommodate bigger airplanes.
There are approximately 1500 Pakistanis stuck in Ukraine at the moment. Nearly 500 of them are students. So far, 35 of them have been evacuated to the Polish capital.
The situation in Ukraine worsened after Russian President Vladimir Putin initiated a military operation against the neighbouring country earlier this week.
