According to the statement, around 1,500 Pakistanis housed in relief camps set up by the Pakistan Embassy in Tripoli are still awaiting evacuation.
Additional flights are planned during the coming weeks to ensure that all stranded Pakistanis are brought back home at the earliest, as directed by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
Of a total 18,000 Pakistani expatriates, 8,000 were severely affected by the outbreak of violence in Libya.
