Page 421 - SHARJAH AIRPORT PR REPORT - FEBRUARY 2024

When checked on Friday, the airline’s website showed Dh1,018 return

airfare with departure from Sharjah to Islamabad on February 17 and
return on February 27. This is around Dh100 comparatively cheaper than
some of the other airlines operating on the same routes on those dates.
Since it’s a budget carrier, passengers can carry 10kg of hand baggage

only. However, they will have to pay for additional baggage and meals.
This will increase competition on the South Asian route which has not
been very well served, hence, airfares are on the higher side due to
demand outpacing supply, especially during the peak seasons.

There are around 1.7 million Pakistani nationals living and working in the
UAE. They are the second largest community in the UAE.
