ISLAMABAD: The first international flight to depart from Pakistan’s northern Skardu city left for Dubai on Tuesday with 160 passengers, the country’s flag carrier confirmed in a statement.
The development takes place eight days after the first direct international flight from Dubai to Skardu landed in the northern city on August 14. Direct flights between the two cities would make Pakistan’s northern mountainous Gilgit-Baltistan region, where Skardu is located, more accessible to foreign travelers.
The Skardu International Airport was inaugurated in December 2021.
