Flights to be operated with Airbus A320 aircraft
Fly Jinnah, Pakistan’s leading low-cost carrier, has unveiled plans for its maiden international flight connecting Islamabad to Sharjah.
The airline, which commenced operations in October 2022, links major cities across Pakistan. The foray into international skies marks a significant milestone in Fly Jinnah’s journey of growth and expansion.
The inaugural flight, slated for take-off on February 17, 2024, will witness the carrier’s Airbus A320 departing from Islamabad to Sharjah, starting from PKR57,777, one-way. The new service will also provide Fly Jinnah customers in Islamabad with further connectivity via Sharjah Airport’s wide network.
The move underscores the carrier’s commitment to bolstering connectivity and strengthening ties between Pakistan and the UAE.
Karachi-based JV
The airline, a private joint venture based in Karachi, operates on the low-cost business model pioneered by Air Arabia, emphasising comfort, reliability, and value-for-money air travel.
Fly Jinnah, having connected major cities like Karachi, Lahore, Peshawar, and Quetta within Pakistan, aims to provide seamless connectivity beyond Pakistan’s borders.
The airline’s fleet expansion includes two new Airbus A320 aircraft, bringing the total to five, thus meeting the growing demand for reliable and affordable international air travel.
Passengers can expect extra comfort with Fly Jinnah’s economy cabin boasting a generous seat-pitch.
Additionally, the carrier has introduced ‘SkyCafe,’ an onboard menu offering a variety of snacks, sandwiches, and meals at affordable prices.
The airline also provides the ‘SkyTime’ in-flight streaming service, allowing passengers to access a wide range of entertainment directly on their devices.
