Islamabad,
August 12
The United States has not granted permission to Pakistan to operate
direct flights to American destinations due to security concerns.
Pakistan cannot start direct flights to the US because the US has reservations about security arrangements at Pakistani airports, Parliamentary Secretary Syed Tanveer Hussain told the National Assembly yesterday.
Although
Pakistan has made elaborate security arrangements at all airports, the
US authorities were "not satisfied" with them, he said. —
