PIA further slashes round trip fare on flights between China-Pakistan

Beijing: Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has further reduced round trip fare for passengers travelling on its flights operating from China to Pakistan with immediate effect.

The new round trip fare from Beijing-Islamabad-Beijing and Chengdu-Islamabad-Chengdu will now be RMB 7,915. It will greatly facilitate those passengers living in China who plan to travel to Pakistan for business, work or to meet their families during holidays, a senior official told APP here on Wednesday.

PIA is currently operating weekly passenger flights on Beijing-Islamabad-Beijing and Chengdu-Islamabad-Chengdu routes on Sunday and Wednesday respectively.

China has already scraped the quarantine requirement for international arrivals starting from January 8. However, the passengers travelling to China need to take nucleic acid test within 48 hours before boarding their flights to China.

Ali Imran, a Pakistani educationist said that the new reduced fare would greatly facilitate the Chinese tourists who plan to visit Pakistan as both Pakistan and China are celebrating this year as tourism year to promote people to people exchange.
