Enhanced Regional Connectivity and Tourism
The new airline will link major hubs like Lahore, Multan, and Faisalabad. Improved flight paths will boost local trade and tourism across the province. Modern aircraft designs reflect the rich cultural heritage of Punjab.
This move addresses the urgent need for better Punjab Transportation Infrastructure. Travelers expect Air Punjab (the provincial carrier) to offer a more reliable alternative to existing bus services.
Expected Air Punjab Ticket Prices

By increasing market competition, the government hopes to stabilize overall air travel costs. You can find updates on Β Pakistan Civil Aviation AuthorityΒ regarding official fare approvals.
