Pakistan International Airline (PIA) achieved a significant milestone in its aviation history. The airline completed its first international flight, journeying from Dubai to the picturesque destination of Skardu.

The maiden voyage signifies an expansion in PIA’s flight routes and positions Skardu as a potential global tourist hotspot.

Triumphant Arrival at Skardu Airport

As the historic flight descended, the Skardu airport was alive with anticipation and emotion. Upon touching the tarmac, the aircraft was met with a grand water cannon salute, a tradition reserved for inaugural flights or to honour retiring pilots. This ceremonial welcome was a testament to this event’s significance for the airline and the region.

As an added touch of patriotism and pride, the pilot proudly waved the national flag from the cockpit window, encapsulating the essence of this monumental occasion. It was a moment of national pride and jubilation for onlookers, passengers, and airline staff alike.
