AirSial Launches Direct Flights to Dubai from Islamabad and Lahore Starting June 2025
In a significant expansion of its international network, AirSial, one of Pakistan’s emerging private airlines, has officially announced the launch of direct flights to Dubai from Islamabad and Lahore, beginning June 2, 2025.
This launch marks a major step forward for the airline, which aims to cater to the growing demand for affordable and convenient air travel between Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), a corridor known to be one of the busiest in the region.
New AirSial Dubai Flights: Route Details
AirSial’s new operations include:
- Islamabad to Dubai – Direct daily flight
- Lahore to Dubai – Direct daily flight
These non-stop services are designed to provide Pakistani expats, business travelers, and tourists with better access to the UAE, while also increasing competition on the route, which is currently served by major airlines like Emirates, Airblue, PIA, and flydubai.
AirSial Chairman Mr. Fazal Jillani shared his appreciation for the support extended by the Government of Pakistan, with special mention of Defence Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif, who played a key role in enabling the airline’s international expansion.
“We are delighted to launch these new international routes and are grateful to Mr. Khawaja M. Asif for his instrumental support,” said Mr. Jillani.
Strengthening Pakistan-UAE Air Connectivity
The Pakistan–UAE air corridor remains one of the most traveled in the Middle East, serving millions of Pakistani expatriates and migrant workers. By introducing nine weekly flights to Dubai from Lahore and Islamabad combined, AirSial is set to offer:
- Increased seat availability
- More affordable travel options
- Enhanced service variety for frequent flyers
The move is expected to boost regional air traffic, especially ahead of Eid holidays, summer travel, and business seasons.
AirSial’s Global Growth Strategy
Founded in 2020 by the Sialkot Chamber of Commerce and Industry, AirSial has rapidly expanded its footprint from domestic to international routes. Its Dubai route is the airline’s second international destination after launching flights to Saudi Arabia in 2023.
With a reputation for on-time performance and modern service standards, the airline is now positioning itself as a competitive option among Pakistani international carriers.
Travelers looking for direct flights from Pakistan to Dubai now have more flexibility, especially for:
- Expatriates flying home from the UAE
- Tourists exploring Dubai and Northern Emirates
- Business travelers requiring fast, direct routes
AirSial’s entrance into this market is expected to lower average ticket prices and raise service standards across the board.
