Do Afghans use Emirates, Etihad, Qatar, Saudia and other carriers from Islamabad ? Do they use ISB as a transit airport?

Never realised they stopped.

To the above point ^ FlyJinnah could consider adding Kabul too. Both point to point and connecting traffic.

PIA should definitely restart operations to Kabul and Kandahar. If It provides cheap enough connections, it could divert traffic away from the ME and towards pia, thereby filling the few empty seats it might have left on its EU/UK operations in the future.

Oh sorry, I was just saying that the airlines that you mentioned above don't fly to Kabul. Due to the tal1ban taking control of the country.

Then again I think most of the time, whenever they enter the country, its through the border
