Neos, a privately-owned Italian airline, has expressed a keen interest in establishing flight services connecting Pakistan and Italy. According to sources familiar with the matter, Neos has initiated contact with the Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) with the intention of commencing direct flight operations between the two nations. This development marks a significant step in fostering international connectivity between Pakistan and Italy.
In its initial phase of operation, Neos intends to introduce a schedule of weekly flights, with Lahore serving as the primary destination. As per insider information, the airline's ambitious plans extend beyond this, as they aim to further expand their flight network to encompass other international destinations.
This strategic move by Neos promises to enhance accessibility and convenience for travelers seeking to journey between Pakistan and Italy.
Neos is poised to initiate its flight services as soon as it secures the necessary permissions and approvals from the Pakistan aviation authority, emphasizing the company's commitment to expeditiously facilitating travel between the two countries.
This development comes in the wake of other international carriers, like Azerbaijan's national air carrier (AZAL), announcing their intentions to commence flight operations to Pakistan. According to an official spokesperson from the Azerbaijan Embassy, AZAL will be launching flights to Pakistan, including the capital city of Islamabad, as well as the major urban centers of Lahore and Karachi, beginning on September 20, 2023.
These endeavors collectively reflect a growing trend in bolstering air connectivity between Pakistan and various international destinations, which is poised to benefit travelers and foster cultural and economic exchanges between nations.
