Low-cost carrier Air Arabia plans to further expand its operations with the addition of Quetta as its seventh destination in Pakistan.

Located near the border with Afghanistan, Quetta is the largest city of the Balochistan province and is known as the fruit garden of Pakistan due to its large agriculture industry.

Adel A Ali, Group chief executive officer of Air Arabia, said: “The addition of Quetta to our network means Air Arabia is able to offer customers across the entire breadth of Pakistan access to value for money air travel. We now have seven of Pakistan’s biggest cities covered with direct services from two Airports in the UAE and we hope to add more in the future as part of our ongoing commitment to serve the country.”

Quetta services will commence on June 17, offering three flights a week from Sharjah International Airport.

Quetta joins Karachi, Peshawar, Sialkot, Lahor, Islamabad and Multan as Pakistani cities served by regular direct Air Arabia flights from Sharjah and Ras Al Khaimah International Airports. – TradeArabia News Service
