Pakistan becomes Emirates' "Domestic" Network, as its 5th destination opens amidst PIA's collapse
DUBAI, U.A.E., 13th August 2013: Emirates, one of the worlds fastest growing airlines, today announced it is to launch services to Sialkot, its fifth route to Pakistan.
The service will commence from 5th November 2013 with four weekly flights operated by an Airbus A330-200 aircraft in a two-class configuration - 54 seats in Business Class and 183 in Economy Class. The aircraft can carry up to 17 tonnes of cargo, giving a boost to trade opportunities.
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 the area encompassing Gujrat, Sialkot and Gujranwala.
The area is famous for producing and exporting sports goods and clothing, gloves, surgical instruments, cutlery, ceramics and leather garments, whilst imports to the region focus on the supply of raw materials for manufacturing those products.
Pakistan was the first country on our route network when we launched services to Karachi in 1985, said Barry Brown, Emirates Divisional Senior Vice President Commercial Operations East. With the addition of this fifth destination the airline will operate 63 flights a week between Dubai and Pakistan...........
