Fly Jinnah to launch Dubai–Lahore flights in October

Fly Jinnah, Pakistan’s low-cost carrier, will introduce a new non-stop service between Lahore and Dubai from 29 October 2025, marking the airline’s second UAE destination after Sharjah.

 

The twice-weekly flights will operate on Wednesdays and Sundays. 

 

Services will depart Dubai International Airport at 23:00, landing at Lahore’s Allama Iqbal International Airport at 03:00 the following day. Return flights will leave Lahore at 18:45 and arrive in Dubai at 21:35.

The new connection links Dubai to Lahore, Pakistan’s second-largest city and cultural hub, home to heritage landmarks such as Lahore Fort and Shalimar Gardens. 

Operations will be carried out using Airbus A320 aircraft, which offers the most generous seat pitch of any economy cabin.

With Dubai added to its Lahore network, Fly Jinnah expands its reach in the GCC region, complementing existing routes to Sharjah, Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam and Bahrain.

 

A Fly Jinnah spokesperson said: “We are pleased to expand our international footprint with the launch of direct flights between Lahore and Dubai, one of the region’s most popular destinations for both business and leisure travellers.”

 

This extends the airline’s footprint across the GCC, with services connecting Pakistan with Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam in Saudi, plus Bahrain and Sharjah in the UAE. 

 

The announcement comes as UAE–Pakistan connectivity grows. Air Arabia Abu Dhabi is set to increase frequencies to Multan and Faisalabad this September, while Etihad Airways has doubled its daily Abu Dhabi–Karachi services to 28 weekly flights and will begin operating to Peshawar on 29 September.

 

Together, Air Arabia Abu Dhabi and Etihad will soon offer more than 50 weekly flights from Abu Dhabi to seven Pakistani cities, including Sialkot, Multan, Faisalabad, Karachi, Islamabad, Lahore and Peshawar.
