ISLAMABAD: Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has commenced a special emergency operation to bring home Pakistani nationals stranded in Iran amid the escalating Iran-Israel conflict.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A special PIA aircraft departed from Peshawar and landed in Ashgabat, the capital of Turkmenistan, on Tuesday evening as part of the evacuation strategy.<\/p>\n

With crucial support from the Pakistani embassy, 150 Pakistani citizens were transported from the Iranian city of Mashhad to Ashgabat.<\/p>\n

These individuals had been stuck in Iran due to the sudden closure of Iranian airspace, which disrupted international flights.<\/p>\n

PIA confirmed that these citizens will be flown back to Pakistan through a special flight departing from Ashgabat.<\/p>\n

Following directives from the federal government, the airline has announced that more flights will be scheduled to ensure the safe return of all remaining stranded nationals.<\/p>\n

Coordinated Operation with Government and Embassy<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The operation is being conducted in close coordination with Pakistan\u2019s diplomatic mission and relevant government agencies.<\/p>\n

Officials praised the swift response of both the embassy and PIA, which have acted decisively to mitigate risks to citizens abroad.<\/p>\n

PIA assured the public that further updates will be provided regarding upcoming repatriation flights.<\/p>\n
