ISLAMABAD: Pakistan and China have agreed to encourage airlines of both countries to launch new direct flight routes and increase the number of existing flights.
The decision is part of the China-Pakistan Action Plan (2025-2029), which was recently signed in Beijing.
The plan brief, available with Wealth Pakistan, identifies civil aviation as a key area of cooperation under the broader framework of people-to-people exchanges.
The document states that both sides will strengthen civil aviation cooperation by assisting airlines in launching new routes and increasing the frequency of existing routes. The initiative is designed to facilitate easy travel for business communities, students, tourists and professionals between the two countries.
Civil aviation cooperation is also linked to other areas of the action plan such as cultural exchanges, educational cooperation, tourism development and trade facilitation. Improved air connectivity is expected to complement ongoing work on the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) and regional integration efforts.
Officials from both sides stressed that the expansion of direct flights will deepen people-to-people contacts, reduce travel time, and create more opportunities for bilateral engagement at multiple levels.
