Pakistan Flights stopped..!? Lack of money to buy fuel..!?

We are seeing how bad Pakistan's economic situation is. Inflation has reached extreme levels. Commodity prices have skyrocketed. Along with the gas cylinder, oil prices also got dearer. pakistan took a crucial decision in this order. pakistan international airlines (PIA) has completely canceled 48 flights. Domestic and international services are suspended. Airplanes need fuel to fly. And that oil has now turned into gold. There was a severe shortage. That's why... all the flights were put aside. PIA representatives disclosed that flights had to be canceled due to insufficient fuel supply. Pakistani media also confirmed the same thing. Most of the flights have been rescheduled. The canceled services include 13 domestic flights and 11 international flights. Another 12 flights were delayed. The company is showing an alternative to those who have already booked tickets. Officials advised to know the flight status before coming to the airport.
Why shortage..?


Pakistan State oil (PSO), a government subsidiary, supplies fuel to pakistan international Airlines. However, the airlines kept the payment pending for many days. As it was already running at a loss, it could not pay that amount to the government. That is why pakistan State oil has cut the supply. As a result, the future of airlines has become a mess. Drowning in debt. Privatization is expected to be done gradually. In addition to this problem, financial support from the government has not been received. Even though they had to give 23 billion dollars, the government did not agree to that. By now, those airlines have to pay at least 100 million to get out of the abyss of losses. If the current situation continues like this...they are worried that the airlines will be gradually shut down.
