London: British Airways will resume flights to Pakistan today, more than a decade after the route was suspended following a hotel bombing.
British Airways pulled out of the country after the attack at Islamabad's Marriott Hotel in September 2008, which left at least 54 people dead and many more injured, including six British citizens.
The service, scheduled to fly three times a week, will be operated with Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft and will serve the Pakistani capital's main international airport.
British Airways is the only Western airline to operate flights to the Pakistani capital.
Pakistan International Airways (PIA) was the only airline to operate direct flights between Britain and Pakistan over the past period. (QNA)
