Faisal Niaz Tirmizi, Pakistan’s Ambassador to the UAE, revealed to Gulf News that the deal was finalized this week following discussions with UAE authorities regarding the introduction of additional low-cost airline services between the two countries.
“As part of this agreement, Pakistan’s AirSial will commence flights from three Pakistani cities to Abu Dhabi, while Wizz Air will operate flights between Abu Dhabi and two cities in Pakistan,” Ambassador Tirmizi explained. The new services are expected to launch within the next two to three months, with final route details and flight schedules to be announced soon.
Currently, at least eight airlines, including Emirates, Etihad Airways, flydubai, PIA, Fly Jinnah, Air Arabia, Serene Air, and Air Blue, operate flights between Pakistan and the UAE.
Beyond Increased Flights
“This agreement goes beyond just increasing the number of flights,” Tirmizi added. “It’s about expanding trade, commerce, and cultural exchange between our two nations.”
The development comes at a crucial time as Pakistan’s Prime Minister, Shehbaz Sharif, is set to visit the UAE in February to participate in the World Government Summit. The visit is expected to present further opportunities to deepen bilateral cooperation, particularly in trade, investment, and employment for skilled labor.
