Two-way air ticket made mandatory for travellers going abroad

A two-way ticket of the same airline has been made mandatory for the air passengers with a visit visa for going abroad, reported 24NewsHD TV channel on Tuesday.

In this regard, Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) and Civil Aviation Authority have sent letters to all domestic and foreign airlines.

In the letter both the organizations have instructed the airlines not to issue boarding cards to such passengers.

It was instructed in the letter that for travellers going to foreign destinations especially Bangkok, Malaysia and Dubai, implementation of the instruction is mandatory.

For two-way tickets issued on visit visas, in case of separate airline tickets, the PNR number must also be the same and passengers with low profiles must be checked at airports as per instructions.

A two-way ticket of the same airline is not bought to slip to other countries, including for employment.

There are also difficulties in recovering the eviction expenses from such passengers when they are deported.
