ISLAMABAD – The Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority lifted the ban on in-flight meals on all domestic routes as the coronavirus positivity rate continues to drop in the country.
As per the revised SOPs for the flights, wearing masks, maintaining social distance and vaccination are mandatory for passengers.
Earlier this year in January, the aviation regulator imposed a ban on in-flight meals due to a surge in the Covid-19 cases.
