Re: PIA to Start Non-stop Flights Between Karachi and Skardu
Finally! I have been wondering for years if it will ever happen. It seems like aimed at a weekend tourists. IS a covid-PCR test mandatory for GB?
Although I wonder how frequently, due to weather conditions, the flight will end up in Islamabad?
