Travel routes between the UAE and Pakistan continue to grow as local carriers, Etihad and Air Arabia Abu Dhabi, increase their daily flight operations to the country. 

Since September, Etihad has doubled the frequency of its Abu Dhabi-Karachi route, now operating 28 weekly flights, while also beginning a Peshawar service. Meanwhile, Air Arabia Abu Dhabi has increased its volume of flights heading to Multan and Faisalabad.  

Combined, the two airlines provide more than 50 weekly flights from Abu Dhabi to cities all over Pakistan, including Karachi, Islamabad, Lahore, Multan, Sialkot, Faisalabad and Peshawar.
