By offering direct access to the UAE capital from three major Pakistani cities, we are providing customers with greater travel options while continuing to deliver reliable, value-for-money air travel."
The airline already flies to other destinations in the UAE. According to Daily Times, it operates non-stop flights between Islamabad and Sharjah, Lahore and Sharjah, and Lahore and Dubai. The Abu Dhabi routes add a further UAE destination to that list.
