Fly Jinnah is set to begin operations between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia in the coming month, initially connecting Karachi with Riyadh. The airline will operate three weekly flights on the route.

The direct flight from Karachi to Riyadh typically takes around three hours and 30 minutes. One-way economy tickets are generally expected to start at approximately PKR 55,000 to PKR 75,000, depending on the booking date and availability.
Fly Jinnah is a joint venture between Pakistan’s Lakson Group and the UAE-based Air Arabia Group. The low-cost airline operates a young fleet of modern Airbus A320 aircraft and has gained a reputation for offering affordable fares, reasonable legroom, and competitive punctuality among Pakistani carriers.
Meanwhile, in another development, Saudi Arabia’s Riyadh Air has officially launched its operations in Pakistan. Its inaugural flight from Riyadh arrived at Islamabad International Airport last week carrying passengers.
According to the Pakistan Airports Authority (PAA), Riyadh Air is expected to operate seven flights a week between Riyadh and Islamabad.
