ISLAMABAD – Serene Air, a Pakistani private airline, commenced its operations to China, marking a significant moment as its inaugural flight landed in Beijing.

Departing from Karachi, the flight made its way to Beijing via Islamabad, establishing an important air route between the two countries.

Officials celebrated this achievement as a testament to the strong and friendly relations between China and Pakistan, emphasizing the significant impact it will have on strengthening trade, investment, travel, and tourism between the nations, according to Radio Pakistan.
