Pakistan’s Fresh Travel Advisory For Domestic, International Passengers

Web Desk — Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has revised the Covid-19 rules for domestic and international travel in its latest travel advisory.

Officials removed several conditions including mandatory face masks on domestic and international flights as the Covid-19 curve flattened in Pakistan.

The CAA issued an advisory to all airlines and travel agents, announcing that wearing facial masks is no more mandatory on-board flights after the country’s top body advised to revise rules for domestic and international flights.

A notification issued in this regard cited: “Amid declining COVID-19 trend across the country, mask-wearing as a part of nonpharmaceutical interventions is no longer a mandatory requirement during domestic and international travel; however, still preferable.”

The development comes as more than 90 percent population of the South Asian nation has been vaccinated against the novel virus.
