AirSial, a private Pakistani airline, is set to launch its first-ever flight to Skardu on June 1, 2026. This new route is being seen as a significant boost for tourism and air connectivity in Gilgit-Baltistan.
The airline will initially operate flights from Karachi to Skardu, with plans to expand operations from other major cities later. Skardu, known for its breathtaking mountain views, lakes, and adventure tourism spots, has long been a dream destination for many Pakistanis. However, limited flight options have often made travel difficult, especially during the peak summer season.
The introduction of this new route by AirSial is expected to make Skardu more accessible and affordable for domestic and international tourists. It will also support the local economy by increasing the number of visitors to hotels, tour operators, and local businesses in the region.
Aviation experts believe this development will strengthen air links between major cities and the northern areas of Pakistan. It is also part of the government’s broader efforts to promote tourism in Gilgit-Baltistan.
AirSial has expressed confidence that the new service will be reliable and comfortable for passengers. The airline is gradually expanding its domestic network to meet the growing demand for air travel within Pakistan.
This launch is being welcomed as a positive step toward better regional connectivity and the growth of tourism in the country.
