RAWALPINDI, Oct 7: Gulf Air is continuing its operations from Pakistan, a spokesman for the airlines said here on Sunday.

The airlines, he said, was operating two flights from Islamabad, three from Lahore and 10 from Karachi.

About the impact of the international crisis on their business, he said, the affect had been in the range of almost 30 per cent. This reduction in business, he said, was due to the lesser number of people now travelling to Europe and the United States, otherwise the passenger and cargo load was normal.—Staff Reporter
