KARACHI: Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd will be resuming flights to and from Karachi starting Friday (June 13) after having reviewed the situation at Jinnah International Airport, the airline said on its website.

The airline further stated that it was resuming the flights with “additional capacity to help meet demand from recently cancelled flights”.

“We will continue to monitor the situation closely,” it said, recommending travellers "to check their flight status before departing for the airport".

The airline had previously cancelled some flights to Karachi from Bangkok after Taliban insurgents claimed responsibility for an attack on an airport security academy near Karachi's Jinnah International Airport on Tuesday, less than 48 hours after an all-night siege by Taliban gunmen at the country's busiest airport.
