These are not U.S. government operated or funded flights.  Availability and cancellations are controlled by the airline.  Onward travel to the United States may be difficult as many carriers have reduced or eliminated routes.

Travelers will be subject to entry and exit and health requirements at the plane’s arrival countries.  The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) raised the Travel Health Notice for Pakistan to Level 3 on March 23, 2020, because of widespread and ongoing transmission of COVID-19 within the country.  Upon arrival to the United States, passengers will be subject to CDC screening, health observation, and monitoring requirements.  For additional questions, visit the CDC’s COVID-19 Information for Travel page.
