Islamabad: Thai Airways International has resumed its operations from Lahore and Islamabad to Bangkok and beyond. The first flight of Thai Airways landed at Islamabad International Airport from Bangkok. The Station Manager of Thai Airways and senior officials of Pakistan Civil Aviation Division welcomed the passengers and crew members after landing in Islamabad.
