KARACHI – Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has announced a 14 percent discount on ticket fares for its passengers on account of Independence Day.
According to a spokesperson, the discount is applicable on both domestic and selected international routes, including Gulf countries and Saudi Arabia.
This special offer aims to make travel more affordable for the public during the festive period.
Passengers traveling to northern areas of Pakistan, a popular destination during the summer season, will also benefit from this limited-time discount.
The airline has encouraged travelers to take advantage of the offer and book their tickets early, as discounted seats are available for a limited time.
