Due to weather conditions (dense fog and smog) prevailing in the country, some of PIA flights operating on Monday 13 November have been cancelled and revised. PIA spokesman said here on Sunday.
PIA spokesman said that the weather condition was expected to prevail for the next few days and was beyond the control of the airline.
