PESHAWAR: A private airline has begun direct flights between Peshawar and Lahore, expanding domestic services at Bacha Khan International Airport.
The inaugural flight departed Peshawar on Monday and landed safely at Lahore’s Allama Iqbal International Airport. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Governor Faisal Karim Kundi attended the launch ceremony.
The service, launched on Iqbal Day, will initially operate four times a week. The governor said the journey is expected to take between 50 minutes and an hour, and that the route had been restored in collaboration with South Airways.
The governor also said authorities were exploring potential air services to D.I. Khan, Dir, Chitral and Parachinar.
