Singapore Airlines To Restart Flights To Pakistan

SINGAPORE (Dow Jones)--Singapore Airlines Ltd. (S55.SG) Thursday said it will restart flights to Pakistan in February, almost four years after it stopped the service on security concerns.

The world's second-biggest airline by market capitalization said in a statement it will offer a three-times-weekly service to Karachi and Lahore beginning Feb. 1.
It added that the service will support further growth in bilateral trade relations between Singapore and Pakistan by facilitating more commercial and tourism inflows into the country.

Singapore Airlines discontinued flights to Pakistan in May 2002 on security concerns.

Singapore is currently negotiating a free trade agreement with Pakistan.
