Thai Airways International has suspended flights to and from two destinations in Pakistan on Thursday due to the airspace closure in the South Asian country.

The national carrier announced the cancellation of flights TG345 from Bangkok to Lahore and the return leg, TG346.

Additionally, flights TG341 to Karachi and the return leg, TG342, have also been affected.

The cancelled flights were scheduled to depart from Bangkok at 7:50pm and 7:00pm respectively, with arrival times in Lahore and Karachi at 10:30pm and 10:00pm.
