Pakistan's low-cost carrier Fly Jinnah operated its inaugural international flight on Saturday,
landing in Sharjah, where a welcoming ceremony was held on its arrival. The move comes after a
year of domestic operations.

The aircraft, which flew in from Islamabad, was greeted with a traditional water cannon salute.

The airline has a fleet of five Airbus A320s and currently connects Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad,
Peshawar and Quetta, alongside the UAE, its first international destination.

Each aircraft has a free in-flight streaming service called SkyTime, which allows passengers to
stream entertainment directly to their devices, as well as a SkyCafe onboard menu with snacks at
affordable prices.
