Pakistan International Airlines
(PIA) has added Salalah, Oman to its flight destinations. The inaugural
flight, PK235, departed from Lahore at 12:30pm on December 1.
Flights on the Lahore-Salalah-Lahore sector will operate twice a week, every Thursday and Sunday.
PIA
is already flying to Muscat, the capital of Oman, and with these
additional twice-weekly flights to Salalah, PIA hopes to further boost
the link between the two countries and within the region.
PIA
CEO Bernd Hildenbrand said that PIA is expanding its fleet and flights
on profitable routes are being increased, especially to places where
there is a sizeable expatriate Pakistani community.
