CAA bars Shaheen Air flights NL768/NL892 despite court resumption orders : Karachi, 19 July, 2018: The Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority (PCAA) has stopped Shaheen Air flights NL768/NL892 operating from Lahore to Muscat (LHE-MCT) & Lahore to Canton (LHE-CAN) despite of court orders being issued to CAA over resumption of all SAI operations.
It is pertinent to mention that Sindh High Court had earlier overruled the suspension imposed by CAA to suspend all SAI operations.
Consequently, CAA opposing the court orders has barred SAI flights NL768/NL892.
Commenting at the move intended to derail the country’s second largest carrier, SAI Director Marketing, Zohaib Hassan said, “This move from CAA is unwelcoming and is solely intended to disrupt SAI scheduled flights, which will create difficulties for our passengers”.
He added that SAI fully abides by the legal processes that runs within the country, and severely condemn CAA’s move of going against the Sindh High Court’s decision, by stopping our flights NL768/NL892 (LHE-MCT/LHE-CAN).
Shaheen Air is religiously acting upon the payment plan and intends to settle all impending dues to its earliest, while the honorable Sindh High Court also reaffirms the same after SAI produced its substantiation.
