Two foreign airlines, SalamAir and Flynas, have officially resumed flight operations to Pakistan, providing relief to passengers amid recent regional aviation disruptions.

According to aviation sources, SalamAir flight OV507 arrived at Sialkot International Airport carrying passengers from Muscat, while the return flight OV508 departed back to Muscat shortly afterward.

SalamAir has also restored its Muscat–Karachi service. The inbound flight from Muscat is scheduled to land at Jinnah International Airport in the early morning hours.

Sources confirmed that SalamAir resumed Pakistan-bound flights via the Arabian Sea route, avoiding restricted regional airspaces. However, the airline’s operations to Iran, Iraq, United Arab Emirates, and Kuwait remain suspended.

Flynas Restarts Riyadh–Pakistan Operations

Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia’s private carrier Flynas resumed its Pakistan services with Flight 315 departing from Riyadh. The aircraft entered Pakistani airspace through the Arabian Sea corridor before continuing to its destination.

The resumption of flights marks a positive development for travelers affected by recent Middle East airspace closures and flight cancellations.

Relief for Passengers Amid Regional Aviation Disruptions

The restoration of SalamAir and Flynas flights to Pakistan is expected to ease passenger congestion and provide connectivity between Pakistan and Gulf countries.

While Pakistan’s airspace remains fully operational, airlines continue to adjust routes due to regional security concerns.

Aviation experts say further flight resumptions may follow if the regional security situation stabilizes.
