Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has announced its holiday schedule for Eid-ul-Azha. All PIA offices across Pakistan will be closed from June 17 to 19, 2024. This break aligns with the national holiday period set by the federal government for Eid.
The closure notice from PIA stated that while most employees will enjoy these days off, those working in shifts and the operations department will continue to work according to their planned schedules. This ensures that essential services remain available during the holiday.
Eid ul Adha 2024 Holidays in Pakistan
The government decided to give three official holidays for Eid-ul-Azha. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif approved the dates from June 17 to 19 after reviewing a proposal from the Cabinet Division. This means that people can look forward to a longer break as the holiday period extends due to the weekend preceding Eid. With Saturday, June 15, and Sunday, June 16, already being public holidays, this effectively creates a five-day holiday stretch from June 15 to June 19.
This announcement is significant for PIA employees and travelers alike. Knowing the holiday schedule helps everyone plan their activities and travel during Eid. For PIA, it’s a chance to manage their staff effectively while still providing necessary services through their operations team.
As Eid-ul-Azha approaches, PIA’s announcement provides clarity on their holiday schedule, allowing customers to plan ahead. Whether you are planning to travel or stay at home, PIA ensures that essential services will continue to operate smoothly during the festive season.
