      <title>PIA announces 30% fare cut for flights from Karachi to Jeddah, Madinah</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330375445/pia-announces-30-fare-cut-for-flights-from-karachi-to-jeddah-madinah</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has announced a significant 30% reduction in fares for its flights from Karachi to the Saudi Arabian cities of Jeddah and Madinah.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to the airline’s spokesperson, the discounted one-way ticket from Karachi to either Jeddah or Madinah is now priced at Rs56,000, inclusive of taxes. Similarly, a return ticket to either of these holy sites will cost Rs88,000, also inclusive of taxes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The revised fares have already been implemented and will be available for purchase until August 31, with travel allowed up to September 30.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This fare reduction comes as PIA recently launched direct Umrah flights to Jeddah from Quetta and Faisalabad, further expanding travel options for pilgrims from different regions of Pakistan.&lt;/p&gt;
