Faisalabad Chamber of Commerce & Industry (FCCI) Vice President Hajji Muhammad Aslam Bhalli has extended gratitude to PIA and Pakistan CAA for launching a direct flight between Faisalabad and Medina from August 30.

FCCI was pressing hard to restart the Faisalabad-Medina flight to benefit the millions of people residing in and around Faisalabad.

Earlier, pilgrims had to spend three hours to travel from Faisalabad to Lahore or Islamabad.

Hence, one weekly flight is insufficient and PIA must arrange at least two weekly flights from Faisalabad to Medina, he demanded. There was sufficient passenger load available in Faisalabad for this route, he said.
