Al Ain International Airport, Abu Dhabi Airports' second largest airport, welcomed the first flight from Peshawar with an honoury guard salute, in celebration of the new route to Pakistan from Al Ain, a major city in the UAE.
Maarten De Groof, Chief Commercial Officer of Abu Dhabi Airports, said: "Pakistan has always been one of our largest and most significant areas of operations, and we are pleased to welcome these new bi-weekly flights carrying passengers to and from Al Ain and Peshawar."
"This new addition further expands the network of Al Ain International Airport, providing our passengers with enhanced services and connectivity. We look forward to continuing to build new partnerships to meet the market's growing demand," added De Groof.
Pakistan International Airlines will operate the route using its Airbus 320-200 aircraft, which includes 8 Premium Economy seats and 150 Economy Class seats in its current configuration.
On Fridays and Sundays, flights are scheduled to depart from Peshawar International Airport at 08:10am (UAE time), arriving at Al Ain International Airport at 10:10am (UAE time).
