Governor Kundi inaugurates South Air’s Peshawar-Lahore service

PESHAWAR: Private airline South Air on Monday launched its Peshawar-Lahore flight service, with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Governor Faisal Karim Kundi formally inaugurating the new route.

Speaking at the inaugural ceremony as chief guest, Kundi said the launch of the service on Iqbal Day marked another important milestone for the airline.

He said the service would save passengers time and provide greater travel convenience, noting that travelling between Peshawar and Lahore by road takes around six hours.

Kundi said South Air had already launched a Peshawar-Quetta service to facilitate the business community and the public.

He added that the airline would soon launch flight services to Chitral and Gilgit-Baltistan.

“Our effort is to provide as many facilities as possible to the people,” the governor said, adding that the government was moving forward with a vision of a changing, improving and stronger Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

Kundi said the launch of an air service to Lahore, the city associated with Allama Muhammad Iqbal, on Iqbal Day was a welcome development.

He assured the South Air management of his full support.
