The two ambassadors hinted at playing their full role in enhancing air links between Pakistan and Uzbekistan. It is clear that Pakistan International Airlines is expanding its operations in Afghanistan and Central Asian countries like Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan.
During the first phase, there will be five flights between Pakistan and Kabul, whereas, the number will increase to seven flights amid the second phase, informed a PIA spokesperson. Similarly, the spokesperson further revealed that PIA will begin operating two direct flights from Lahore to Baku from March 14 onwards in one week.
The airline will also begin flight operations from Lahore to Tashkent on March 28, and it has also been allowed by the Uzbekistani authorities to conduct flight operations to Bukhara and Samarkand.
