The move is expected to improve air connectivity
between China and Pakistan, offering greater convenience for business
travellers, students, and tourists. It is also seen as a boost for trade links
and people-to-people exchanges between the two countries.
In a
related development, Pakistan’s air links with Sri Lanka are also set to
strengthen. Low-cost carrier FitsAir will launch twice-weekly flights from
Colombo to Lahore beginning January 20, 2026. The service will operate on
Tuesdays and Saturdays using an Airbus A320, providing travellers with more
options on the route.
