Growing Pakistan Presence
With this new addition to Multan, flyadeal now serves five major Pakistani cities, having previously established successful routes to:

The continuous expansion of Saudi carriers in Pakistan underscores the vital role air connectivity plays in maintaining strong bilateral relations and supporting economic growth.
Benefits for Pakistani Travelers
