Good news indeed

PIA operated this route from 2008-2018 thrice weekly by getting full loads. National carrier is playing its card very well.

As per officials resumption of Sialkot - Abu Dhabi route is also under consideration. Cheers

Kuwait Lahore sector is already served with almost daily flight by Jazeera and Kuwait airways so not much benefit but yes Kuwait Peshawar must be in their priority list which previously served as a stopover for the Lahore flight.

Anyhow a much awaited Decision.
