SHAHEEN Air International started Karachi to Sukkur flight with a fare of just Rs3,860. The fare was affordable even for a middle-class family.

Shaheen Air’s aircraft was marvellous and it was much comfortable than PIA’s Fokker.

I am a student and flew Shaheen Air in December 2012 from Karachi to Sukkur for Rs3,860 on a comfortable aircraft and served a nice meal.

I have travelled by PIA several times too, spending Rs8,000, but I could not forget the experience with the Shaheen Air.

At the time of purchasing the airline ticket, I had some apprehensions due to low fare.

I thought the flight might get delayed or it might not be a comfortable aircraft. But I found it totally opposite.

Now Shaheen Air does not operate Karachi-Sukkur flight due to unknown reasons. It is a great loss for regular travellers and students.

I request the airline to resume the Karachi-Sukkur flight for its passengers’ convenience.
