The Dubai International Airport authorities have issued consecutive warnings to the PIA over its failure to adhere to the time slots allocated to it and the practice of changing aircraft without intimation.
The airport authorities told the PIA in a letter that it was not observing the time slot. “It has failed to follow the correct procedure to update slots. This is deemed as misuse of the slots. We are adopting zero tolerance to such misuse,” it said.
The authorities said the letter should be considered a second warning. “If any further violation of this nature occurs, a fine may be imposed on the PIA.”
A source in the PIA said that delay in its flights often caused problems with regard to observing the time.
Before issuing the warning on the time slot misuse, the Dubai airport authorities had also warned PIA to inform them before any change of aircraft scheduled to land there.
