Emirates to launch services to Pakistan's Salikot
(MENAFN) Dubai flag carrier Emirates Airline is set to boost its services to Pakistan by launching a new route to Sialkot, Arabian Business reported.
The airline said that services to Salikot, Emirates' fifth destination in Pakistan, will start from November 5 with four weekly flights operated by an Airbus A330-200 aircraft, which can carry up to 17 tonnes of cargo.
Sialkot is the capital of Sialkot District located in the north-east of the Punjab province in Pakistan. Situated around 125 kilometres north of Lahore, it provides customers with a convenient alternative gateway to the Export Triangle of Pakistan, Emirates added.
The area is famous for producing and exporting sports goods and clothing, gloves, surgical instruments, cutlery, ceramics and leather garments.
Sialkot International Airport, which opened in 2007, boasts the longest runway in Pakistan at 3,600 metres and was wholly funded by the Sialkot Chamber of Commerce.
