Indian flights to resume on Jan 9

Published December 31, 2003

NEW DELHI, Dec 30: State-run Indian Airlines will start flying to neighbouring Pakistan from Jan 9, a company official said on Tuesday, after the two countries agreed to resume air links cut during tension two years ago.

Flights between the two countries were suspended after a militant attack on the Indian parliament in December, 2001, that India blamed on Pakistan-based militants. “We’re resuming our direct link after more than two years,” said Anup Srivastava, spokesman for Indian Airlines.—Reuters
