The UK Department for Transport (DfT) is scheduled to travel to Pakistan in mid-January to evaluate the situation, according to sources.

In February, PIA is anticipated to begin direct flight operations to the UK as part of the endeavor. For a safety audit, a team from the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) will be traveling to Karachi from January 15 to 17.

In order to obtain an exemption from the security audit, the CAA has gotten in touch with the UK aviation authorities.

In addition to expressing trust in the manual report that the Pakistani authorities gave, the DfT has indicated that it is willing to approve the exception.

Following earlier audits, the British aviation team will formally do a safety audit of the CAA and PIA. Nadir Shafi, the CAA’s Director-General, is personally in charge of the teams working on the process of starting flights to the UK again.

In the first phase, PIA intends to run direct flights to Manchester, and the CAA is also anticipated to inform the DfT delegation. In the second phase, flights to London and other places will be introduced. PIA will fly to the UK and Europe using its Boeing 777 aircraft.

Two suspects were detained by police on Sunday for allegedly opening fire on Kurram Deputy Commissioner Javedullah Mehsud.

The accused have been taken into custody as part of the crackdown against extremists, according to police sources. The detained suspects have been moved to an undisclosed location for additional examination.

The crackdown will continue until all of the accused engaged in the firing incident are arrested, they stated.

It is important to note that Deputy Commissioner Mehsud and his security were hurt in Saturday’s shooting in the Bagan area. The event happened just after the first convoy of commodities from Tal to Parachinar set out on its voyage after a peace deal. The horrific event resulted in the hospitalization and injuries of three additional security personnel.

Despite prior pledges made during joint remarks, PTI leader and dialogue committee member Asad Qaiser stated he was hesitant to submit demands in writing.

Qaiser said in a recent interview that the issues raised in discussions with the administration should be sufficient and regarded as formal demands.

He called it a “mere formality” that requests be made in writing, and he asked the government’s negotiating team to speak with the actual decision-makers and authorities.

Uncertainty regarding the upcoming round of negotiations was indicated by this change in position.
