outpacing supply, especially during the peak seasons.

There are around 1.7 million Pakistani nationals living and working in the UAE.

Fly Jinnah added two new Airbus A320 aircraft to its existing fleet, bringing the

total number of aircraft to five. The aircraft is also equipped with “SkyTime”, a
free in-flight streaming service that allows passengers to stream a wide
selection of entertainment directly to their devices.
