Emirates is celebrating 20 years of operations in Lahore and Islamabad, two of Pakistan’s most populous cities. The locations are important cargo destinations for the airline as it carried over 123,962 t of cargo in the last five years.
Key exports and imports include fresh fruits and vegetables, fish, meat, machinery and equipment. The airline also assists in fuelling trade between Pakistan and the UAE, enabling local exporters and businesses to connect to developed and emerging markets.
The partnership between Pakistan and Emirates goes back 33 years when the carrier’s first ever flight from Dubai landed in Karachi in October 1985. Since then, it has continued blossoming with Emirates currently offering services to five Pakistani cities including Peshawar and Sialkot. (ah)
