PIA announces ‘Sadpara Air Safari’ to boost local tourism
Pakistan International Airlines is all set to launch the ‘Sadpara Ali Safari’ service to boost local tourism in the country. The service is named after late mountaineer Ali Sadpara. The service is expected to start from June 12.
As per the details, after the launch of the service, people will be able to book a flight from Islamabad and fly over to K2, Deosai, Nanga Parbat, and other mountains before landing in Skardu. During the flight the captain will enlighten the passengers with live commentary.
The one way Air Safari service will cost Rs25,000, Express Tribune has reported.
The return flight will operate as a normal flight carrying other passengers to provide travelling flexibility to their clients.
Ali Sadpara lost his life earlier this year in February, along with two international mountaineers during their quest to conquer K2 in winter.
