According to the sources, PIA which is currently charging a fare amount of Rs 7000 for Karachi to Islamabad or Lahore, would charge double of the amount.
The recent hike is also followed by the private airlines in the country that will be charging more than of their current fares.
One side ticket will cost passengers a fare of Rs 13,000 in travelling between Karachi, Islamabad and Lahore while it will be upto 25,000 with return ticket.
Passengers will face difficulty in going back to their homes for Eid ul Azha, as the ongoing inflation in the country is already not doing any just to the citizens.
PIA has announced an expansion of its London flight operation, increasing services between Pakistan and the British capital to seven flights per week.
According to the national flag carrier’s spokesperson, PIA will operate five weekly flights from Islamabad to London and two weekly flights from Lahore to London starting from October 27.
PIA currently operates four flights per week to London. The additional services will increase the frequency to seven flights weekly, effectively providing daily connectivity between Pakistan and London.
The increased frequency is expected to give passengers greater flexibility when planning travel between the two countries.
