Flying Turkish Airlines out of Pakistan

[hammad786]

Salam Alaykum all,

I have a relative who would like to visit the United States in the coming month. Is Turkish Airlines allowing passengers to board from Karachi without a corona test, or shall I advise my relative to get the test done prior to the flight? Last I checked, Turkish Airlines is not requiring any tests like Qatar and Emirates. Please advise.

I am taking Turkish Airlines from LHE to LAX on 11 Aug.
Can anyone confirm if I need PCR Negative before boarding? My agent told me it's required but I can't see any labs or requirement mentioned on the site.
