AirSial, Pakistan’s growing domestic airline, is set to strengthen air connectivity between the southern port city of Karachi and the northern city of Peshawar by launching four weekly flights on this route, beginning January 10. This expansion reflects the airline’s ongoing efforts to enhance domestic travel options and provide convenient, reliable air services to key cities across the country.
The flights will operate on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, utilizing the Airbus A320, a modern and fuel-efficient aircraft designed for comfortable short- to medium-haul journeys. Passengers flying from Karachi will board Flight PF181 at 12:40 pm, with an estimated arrival in Peshawar at 2:30 pm, offering an efficient midday connection between the economic hub of Pakistan and the capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The return service, Flight PF182, will depart Peshawar at 3:20 pm and land in Karachi at 5:20 pm, allowing travelers to complete a same-day round trip if needed.
This new service is expected to significantly improve convenience for business travelers, government officials, students, and tourists who frequently travel between Karachi and Peshawar. By adding this route, AirSial aims to provide a competitive alternative to road and rail transport, reducing travel time from over 18 hours by road to under two hours by air.
AirSial’s management highlighted that this route expansion is part of a broader strategy to increase flight frequency on high-demand domestic corridors, improve regional accessibility, and strengthen the airline’s domestic network. Passengers can expect modern in-flight amenities, a professional cabin crew, and reliable scheduling that complements connecting flights to other cities in AirSial’s growing network.
The airline also emphasized that ticket bookings for the new Karachi-Peshawar flights are now open through its website, mobile app, and authorized travel agents, giving passengers multiple convenient options for reservations. This initiative further demonstrates AirSial’s commitment to enhancing air travel options across Pakistan and supporting the country’s domestic aviation infrastructure.
