The Pakistan Embassy in the UAE has issued a warning about a ticket scam involving scurrilous travel agents offering to book tickets on 'special flights' from the UAE to Pakistan.

"Flights between the UAE and Pakistan are suspended and there is no announcement of any special flights from UAE to Pakistan so far," said a statement issued by the Pakistan Embassy on Tuesday.

The statement added that the embassy would announce if any special flights would be offered, while stressing that there will be an official announcement whenever normal flight operations between the UAE and Pakistan resume.
