Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) is expanding its international operations by launching direct flights from Quetta to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. This move aims to facilitate passengers in Balochistan, particularly for religious travel and business purposes. The first flight is scheduled for July 28, with weekly services planned every Sunday.

The initiative marks a significant step toward improving connectivity for Quetta residents, reducing their need to travel to larger cities like Karachi or Islamabad for international flights. Officials hope this addition will boost regional economic activity and offer greater convenience for pilgrims heading to Saudi Arabia for Umrah and Hajj.
PIA is also focusing on improving service quality and restoring passenger confidence by expanding its route network. The airline continues to explore more international destinations from different cities across Pakistan.
