ABU DHABI: Air Arabia Abu Dhabi, the capital’s first low-cost carrier, is expanding its footprint in Pakistan with the launch of new direct flights to Sialkot, starting July 17 2025. The service will connect Zayed International Airport with Sialkot International Airport, offering convenient and affordable options for passengers travelling between the UAE and Pakistan’s dynamic Punjab region.
Operating three times a week, the new route is part of the airline’s growing commitment to improve connectivity for both business travellers and the large Pakistani expatriate community residing in the UAE. The addition of Sialkot strengthens Air Arabia’s existing network in Pakistan, which already includes services to Faisalabad and Multan.
Sialkot, known as one of Pakistan’s leading industrial and export hubs, plays a critical role in the country’s economy. Strategically located near the Chenab River at the foot of the Kashmir hills, the city is renowned for its manufacturing industries, particularly surgical instruments and sports goods. The new route aims to facilitate travel for professionals and families with ties to the region.
With its hallmark budget-friendly model, Air Arabia Abu Dhabi continues to provide value-driven travel options while expanding direct air links between the UAE and key South Asian cities. The launch of this service also supports growing bilateral ties and reflects increasing travel demand between the two countries.
