RAWALPINDI: The Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has cut fare for domestic flights without baggage — seven days after it announced a reduction of Rs12,000 for one-way ticket, inclusive of all taxes.

PIA spokesman Abdullah Hafeez said the national flag carrier had reduced the minimum one-way fare for domestic flights from Rs12,000 to Rs9,572 without baggage.

He said passengers could carry up to 7kg of hand-baggage on domestic flights with the reduced fare of Rs9,572. The new incentive will be for travel to Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad.

On June 29, the PIA had announced a reduction of Rs12,000 for one-way tickets inclusive of all taxes for different destinations including Islamabad, Lahore and Karachi and other cities.

The spokesman said new fare would come into effect immediately.
