Specifics state that the operation, known as “Operation Ashura,” started on July 5 and that there will be further flights on July 7 and 11.
Along with ensuring pilgrims’ safe return, PIA’s special flights will carry them to Najaf.
July 20 is the start date of the return operations, and flights from Najaf are planned for July 21 and July 25.
To ensure pilgrims had a smooth journey at this important time of religious devotion, “Operation Ashura” was created.
The fact that Youm-e-Ashura falls on Wednesday, July 17, is worth mentioning currently.
