In a significant development for Pakistan’s aviation and tourism sectors, a new airline, South Air, is set to take off soon, focusing on enhancing connectivity to the breathtaking northern regions of the country.
Enhanced Connectivity to Scenic Destinations
South Air will operate two daily flights to popular tourist destinations Gilgit, Chitral, and Skardu. Initially, these flights will depart from Islamabad and Lahore, making travel to Pakistan’s picturesque mountains more convenient for tourists and locals alike.
Fleet and Operations
The airline will begin operations with two turboprop aircraft, ideal for short-haul flights to the challenging terrains of the northern areas. These aircraft are known for their efficiency and ability to operate on shorter runways, ensuring reliable service to these remote yet highly sought-after locations.
A Boost for Tourism and Economy
The launch of South Air is expected to boost tourism by providing more accessibility to Pakistan’s northern gems, which attract thousands of domestic and international travelers every year. Additionally, this new airline will contribute to the local economy by promoting hospitality, adventure tourism, and cultural exchange.
