PIA Announces New Flights to Northern Areas to Boost Tourism

PIA Launches New Flights to Chitral and Skardu to Boost Northern Tourism


Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has announced new flights to boost tourism in Pakistan's breathtaking northern regions. The airline will introduce flights from Islamabad to Chitral, starting operations on May 18. This new route will enable domestic and international tourists to explore Chitral's stunning landscapes and unique cultural experiences. Additionally, PIA will launch international flights from Dubai to Skardu on Fridays, with return flights from Skardu to Dubai on Sundays. This aims to attract tourists from the Middle East, further enhancing accessibility to Pakistan's scenic northern areas.


PIA's Ongoing Efforts to Promote Tourism in Northern Pakistan


PIA's commitment to promoting tourism and supporting the local economy is well-established. In 2022, the airline expanded its operations to northern regions, drawing tourists from around the world. The new routes from Islamabad to Chitral and Dubai to Skardu are a continuation of these efforts. PIA encourages travelers to book tickets in advance, especially during peak holiday seasons, to secure their spots. These additional flights are expected to contribute significantly to the growth of tourism in Pakistan's northern regions.


PIA's Plans to Resume European Flights Amid Safety Concerns


While PIA expands its operations in Pakistan's northern regions, it is also working to resume flights to Europe following a ban imposed by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). The ban followed a tragic plane crash in Karachi in May 2020, which led to the discovery of significant issues with the licensing process for commercial pilots. PIA's efforts to address these safety concerns include plans to establish Paris as a central hub for its European operations. By addressing these issues, PIA aims to rebuild its reputation and reconnect with European destinations, further supporting its growth and international presence.
