SKARDU: In a momentous day, 12 full to capacity Airbus A320 flights on Thursday successfully connected Skardu to major cities across Pakistan, signalling a surge in tourism and its rise as a prime tourist destination.
Six flights to and from Islamabad, Karachi, and Lahore, brought in both domestic and international tourists and took back travellers.
The introduction of Airbus A320 flights marks a major milestone in the region’s aviation history, providing enhanced connectivity to the region.
With Skardu now more accessible than ever, tourists can look forward to exciting activities such as trekking in the Himalayas, exploring ancient Buddhist monasteries, and experiencing warm local hospitality.
