The PIA team, led by General Manager Balochistan, Abdul Ghaffar Mian Khail called on the provincial governor on Tuesday.

During the meeting, the governor said that providing the facility of direct flight to the people was a “good initiative.” The flight operation of the national flag carrier airline from Quetta to Saudi Arabia would be ensured on a daily basis.

Jaffar Khan said that ATM, first aid and currency exchange facilities would also be provided to passengers at Quetta Airport.

“We are grateful to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif for ensuring air travel facilities for the people of Balochistan,” the governor said.

It is to be mentioned that the direct flight from Quetta to Saudi Arabia would not only facilitate Umrah pilgrims but also the Pakistani diaspora living in Saudi Arabia.
