Islamabad, May 12, 2025: In a positive turn of events, Saudi Airlines has resumed its flight operations to Pakistan following the ceasefire between Pakistan and India.
Flight SV-704, departing from Jeddah, marked the first service to Karachi under the renewed operations, while the return flight, SV-3705, will travel back to Jeddah as part of the Hajj service.
This development comes after intense conflict between Pakistan and India, which lasted for four days, and has led to several other UAE-based airlines announcing the resumption of their flights to both countries.
Emirates, Etihad Airways, and Air Arabia began partial operations on May 11, 2025, in the early hours, with an emphasis on adapting to the ongoing situation.
The Pakistan Airport Authority (PAA) has confirmed that the nation’s airspace has been fully restored and is operating as usual.
A formal statement from the PAA highlighted that all airports in Pakistan are adhering to regular schedules.
Travelers are urged to check with their airlines for the latest updates and flight schedules.

This return to normalcy signals a much-needed boost for air travel between Pakistan and the UAE and Saudi Arabia, which are crucial air corridors for business, tourism, and Hajj pilgrimages.
With air traffic resuming, both Pakistan and international travelers can expect smoother travel options in the coming weeks.
As air travel begins to bounce back, passengers are advised to stay updated on any changes and reach out to airlines for the latest flight information.
