(MENAFN) Dubai flag carrier Emirates Airline is set to boost its services to Pakistan by launching a new route to Sialkot, Arabian Business reported.
The airline said that services to Salikot, Emirates’ fifth destination in Pakistan, will start from November 5 with four weekly flights operated by an Airbus A330-200 aircraft, which can carry up to 17 tonnes of cargo.
Sialkot is the capital of Sialkot District located in the north-east of the Punjab province in Pakistan. Situated around 125 kilometres north of Lahore, it provides customers with a convenient alternative gateway to the Export Triangle of Pakistan, Emirates added.
