KARACHI – May 20: AirSial has announced the launch of direct flights from Islamabad and Lahore to Dubai, with operations set to begin on June 2, 2025. This expansion marks another milestone for the private airline as it grows its international presence.
The move aims to meet the rising travel demand from the large Pakistani community in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). These new routes will provide more travel choices and budget-friendly options on one of the region’s busiest flight corridors.
AirSial Chairman Fazal Jillani thanked the government for supporting the airline’s expansion. He especially acknowledged Defence Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif for helping facilitate international flight operations. “We are thrilled to go global and truly appreciate Mr. Khawaja Asif’s valuable support,” Jillani stated.
This addition positions AirSial among key players flying between Pakistan and the UAE, joining both national and international airlines on the route. The airline aims to offer competitive pricing and improved passenger service to attract travelers seeking value and comfort.
Founded in 2020 by the Sialkot Chamber of Commerce and Industry, AirSial has quickly gained a strong reputation in the domestic market. Its Dubai launch follows the airline’s earlier international expansion into Saudi Arabia.
Looking ahead, AirSial plans to continue growing its global network while maintaining a strong focus on safety, affordability, and customer satisfaction—key elements of its long-term strategy in the aviation sector.
