KARACHI: There is no imminent threat to flight operations to New Delhi, said a spokesman for the Pakistan International Airlines on Monday.

He said the airline had acquired immoveable property in New Delhi in 2005 for running its offices after completing all necessary formalities.

After more than nine years, the Reserve Bank of India, through a letter dated Nov 24, 2014, objected to the purchase of the property, alleging that it was done without its permission.

The spokesman said the PIA was taking measures to safeguard and protect its assets, playing down press reports that flight operations to New Delhi might be affected because of the dispute.
