Hope they do same for KHI, their first destination in the world and mark the launch of the airline in September 1985.

And, it was PIA Airbus A300B4-203 registration AP-BBM that performed Emirates inaugural flight from Dubai to Karachi.



BTW, here's 1985/86 Emirates Airlines advertisement promoting airline's daily service (seven flights a week) between Dubai and Karachi operated with Airbus A300B4-203 (aircraft registration AP-BBM leased from PIA).



Emirates eight flights a week between Dubai and Karachi advertisement.
