BA flight to Pakistan after 10 years
The British government is showing confidence in Imran Khan by allowing British Airways to resume flights to Pakistan with effect from Sunday after a break of more than 10 years.
The indication is the British government is taking a pragmatic view of relations with Pakistan.
With US President Donald Trump threatening war against Iran, the timing may not be entirely propitious, however.
British Airways is a private airline but it could not have taken the decision to begin thrice-weekly flights to the Pakistani capital, Islamabad, by Boeing 787 Dreamliner without security clearance from the foreign office and the security services in London.
