This does not seem to male sense. The covid figures in Pakistan have decreased substantially from peaking at over 5K daily cases down to less than 1.5K.

Has PIA’s schedule been affected by this rule or are they operating gulf sector flights as per original schedule?

Are PIA flights operating to capacity on the gulf - PAK sector now that EK, FZ, EY and QR are operating reduced flights?

Extended till July is less likely, as primary schools, parks, and many other places will be open up by 28 June. So, seems like flight operation will be restored in July.

30 June is 5 days from now but so far no new update from NCOC over increased capacity. Looks like they would extend through Eid ul Adha too as they did with last Eid.
