Fly Jinnah to reconnect Lahore, Islamabad with daily flights from May 1

LAHORE: Fly Jinnah will launch twice-daily flights between Islamabad and Lahore starting May 1, expanding its domestic network and offering greater convenience to travellers on one of the country’s busiest routes.

According to the announced schedule, the airline will operate two daily flights in each direction using Airbus A320 aircraft, with a flight duration of approximately 45 minutes, at a starting price of Rs9,998.

From Islamabad to Lahore, flight 9P734 will depart at 7:10am and arrive at 7:55am, while flight 9P750 will leave at 5:00pm, landing at 5:45pm.

On the return leg, flight 9P735 will depart Lahore at 8:35am and reach Islamabad at 9:20am, while flight 9P751 will leave at 6:25pm and arrive at 7:10pm.

The addition of the new route is expected to enhance connectivity between the two major cities, catering to both business and leisure travellers with flexible morning and evening options.

The launch of this service marks a significant restoration of air connectivity between Pakistan's provincial and federal capitals. The route has gone through suspensions, frequency cuts, and near-disappearance periods mostly driven by COVID, low demand, and airline economics.
