Flynas don't even have the required number of aircrafts to serve current destinations! They codeshare with Etihad to Pakistan and other countries.

Saudia has so many more flights then PIA to Saudi Arabia.

Or is it the three Pakistani airlines capacity equal to the Saudia capacity?

Are the planes of Saudia always full?

Are the planes of Saudia always full?

Usually not, but Shaheen's and PIA's flights usually are. Idk about airBlue, but I've personally flown on all SV, NL and PK to Saudi Arabia and found Pakistani carriers are doing better.

Then why are they increasing the flights?

[Sherry3002]

^Because although not 100% full, off-peak they manage about 60-65%. Hajj and peak seasons probably goes up much higher, though I've never flown during Hajj or peak seasons with either.
Although Saudia gets 60-65% full, PIA and Shaheen fill up 75%+, so technically Pakistani carriers do better. Still, 65% is well above average, and they probably believe that extra flights at better times or with better planes will steal pax away from PIA and Shaheen.

Why arent these airlines llsited in your signature and that stats site.

[Sherry3002]

Why aren't these airlines listed in your signature and that stats site.

Have you not noticed I haven't updated my stats since when I registered? Saudia, Turkish, Shaheen, Thai, and FlyDubai, Delta and American probably would add something like 30+ flights but I'm too lazy to update it. I hope to revamp my entire profile when I get the time.
Edit: I decided to change it for my own convenience, turns out they are automatically added to this website so it only took about 5 min. =D>

Revised schedule sees:

Ten weekly flights between Jeddah and Lahore.
Six weekly flights between Riyadh and Karachi.
Four weekly flights between Riyadh and Lahore.
