Probably permission to flydubai to remain temporary till Pakistan's AirSial gets permission from UAE to start flights for Dubai?

flydubai has stopped operating Islamabad and Lahore flights, so what was the agreement between UAE and Pakistan? Is it not granted? Has Airsial not been granted permission for UAE flights? What's the story?

[HassanKhan]

Airsial have been granted permission to operate Dubai flights but they have not begun services which I'm guessing is because of a plane shortage
