Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) announced on Friday that it was "likely", on "purely economical" grounds, to suspend its Karachi-Mumbai operations, while flights to New Delhi will continue.

PIA Spokesperson Daniyal Gillani, told Dawn online that PIA is considering the move and is yet to take a final decision.

Dismissing reports that operations are being suspended due to tense relations between India and Pakistan, the spokesperson asserted that the reasons behind the move are "purely economical".
