The students who are returning to homeland from China after completion of their education could immediately take benefit from the discount, an official of the airline told APP here on Sunday.
A large number of Pakistani students enrolled in the Chinese universities and stranded in Pakistan following Covid-19 travel restrictions also want to come to China to join off-line classes. They are waiting for the approval of the Chinese government in this regard.
On June 20, a special of PIA flight had brought first batch of Pakistani students from Islamabad to Xian, China. These students were stuck in the motherland because of Covid-19.
