Pakistani budget carrier Fly Jinnah has launched new direct flights between Lahore and Dubai, further expanding its network in the Gulf region.

According to the airline, the new service will operate twice a week, on Wednesdays and Sundays, connecting Allama Iqbal International Airport, Lahore, with Dubai International Airport.

A special ceremony was held at Lahore Airport to mark the inaugural flight.

Fly Jinnah CEO Arman Yahya cut a celebratory cake, joined by Airport Manager Muhammad Irfan, Deputy Chief Security Officer Tasleem Ali Azhar, airport officials, and airline staff.

Speaking on the occasion, Arman Yahya said the airline’s competitive edge lies in offering value-for-money fares compared to other carriers.

“After successful operations to Saudi Arabia, Muscat, Bahrain, and Sharjah, Fly Jinnah is proud to extend its services to Dubai as well,” he added, noting that more international destinations will be added soon.

Fly Jinnah currently operates a fleet of six modern Airbus A320 aircraft, offering passengers spacious seating, onboard menu options, free in-flight streaming, and a loyalty program aimed at rewarding frequent travellers.
