The plan outlines joint efforts to boost air travel by
supporting airlines in both countries to introduce new direct routes and
increase the frequency of existing flights. The aim is to simplify travel for
business professionals, students, tourists, and workers, thereby strengthening
bilateral ties.
Enhanced air connectivity is also expected to complement
other areas outlined in the action plan, including cultural exchange,
educational partnerships, tourism growth, and trade facilitation. Additionally,
the move supports broader regional integration and ongoing projects under the China-Pakistan
