Private airline South Air launched its Peshawar-Lahore flight service on Monday, with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Governor Faisal Karim Kundi formally opening the new route as chief guest at the inaugural ceremony.
Kundi said the launch on Iqbal Day was another important milestone for the carrier. He said the service would save passengers time and make travel easier, noting that the road journey between the two cities takes around six hours.

“Our effort is to provide as many facilities as possible to the people,” the governor said, adding that the government was moving toward a changing, improving and stronger Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
