The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has extended its travel restrictions for passengers coming from United Kingdom (UK).
As per details, CAA has extended its travel ban for inbound passengers from Britain due to new COVID-19 strain in the European country.
However, travelers with Pakistani passports will be exempted from the travel ban.
Furthermore, CAA’s Director Air Transport Department has issued new SOPs for passengers of Category ‘C’ countries who will now be required to present their negative COVID-19 test report upon their arrival in Pakistan.
Such passengers will again be screened for COVID-19 coronavirus in Pakistan as a safety measure.
