ISLAMABAD : The Saudi government has granted special permission to Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) to fly 21 additional flights on a weekly basis between the two countries.

He said with increase in the number of flights, PIA will be able to transport 25,500 passengers from Pakistan before 30th of this month which is the deadline for many ensuring their presence in the kingdom.
