Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has reduced fare for Pakistani students travelling to China from Pakistan with immediate effect.
According to the state-owned news agency, the national flag carrier has cut down its fares from the existing 22 per cent to 27 per cent for students wishing to travel between Pakistan and China.
The move aims to facilitate Pakistani students who are planning to travel to China to join their studies at Chinese educational institutions.
PIA currently operates two weekly flights on Islamabad-Beijing-Islamabad and Islamabad-Chengdu-Islamabad routes on Sundays and Wednesdays respectively.
Pakistani students who were unable to return to China due to Covid-19 travel restrictions can now take advantage of the new fare.
After lifting all travel restrictions, Pakistani students are planning to return to China to attend offline classes, as Chinese authorities have allowed them to do so.
