ISLAMABAD:

PIA on Tuesday cancelled six round-trip flights between Islamabad and northern regions, causing severe inconvenience to passengers.

The national flag carrier's cancelled flights included Islamabad to Gilgit routes PK-601, PK-605, and PK-603, while return flights PK-602 and PK-604 from Gilgit to Islamabad were also grounded.

Additionally, flight PK-451 from Islamabad to Skardu was cancelled.
