RIYADH – In a major relief especially for Pakistani passengers, a private airline has expanded operations under which direct flights from Saudi Arabia to Pakistan have been started.
AirSial has announced that it is starting direct flights from Saudi Arabia’s city of Dammam to Islamabad and Lahore.
In a promotional video shared by the firm handling operations at the Dammam airport, it was confirmed that the flights have been started between the two countries.
