Now, with the improvement of safety and the reduction of COVID-related restrictions, the country’s tourism industry has returned to normal, and the national airline plans to seize the opportunity.
Recently, the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) issued a Tourism Promotion and Regional Integration License (TPRI) for a new airline, North Air.
The airline will operate flights to Gilgit, Skardu, Chitral and Gwadar. In addition, PIA has 17 weekly flights from all over Pakistan to Gilgit.
