That's good news. Shaheen Air should now be throwing offer to Airblue to get acquired. By this way new merged Airline can start looking to offer as much as frequency they can to all potentially profitable sectors with in 4 hour flight distance.

Shaheen Air to connect Muscat with Multan in Pakistan

Muscat:
Multan, also known as the City of Saints, in Pakistan will now be connected by a direct flight from Muscat, according to travel agents working in Oman.

Shaheen Air International, Pakistan’s largest private-sector airline, will connect Muscat to Multan from April 24.

“The airline will be operating an Airbus A320 on this route where they can carry around 170 passengers,” a travel agent said.

Right now, the airline operates nine weekly flights from the Muscat International Airport, which includes Lahore, Islamabad, Sialkot and Peshawar. “The airline will be adding Multan from this month as a lot of Pakistani expats come from Multan,” he added.

The flight will leave every Monday at 4.45 am from Muscat and arrive in Multan at 8.30 am, making it very convenient for passengers who need to travel by road to the interior cities in Pakistan.

“There is an overwhelming demand for travel between Oman and Pakistan due to the existence of strong relations between the two countries. The maiden flight to Multan will mark a significant milestone for enhancing such ties and also benefit the Pakistani diaspora residing in Oman,” travel agents said.

Maybe inaugural flight delayed due to dispute between Shaheen Air and Pakistan CAA?

Pakistan CAA spokesperson statement says that Shaheen Air issued new routes tickets in violation of CAA rules & regulations.

Maybe Shaheen Air Airbus A319-100 (AP-BNI) ferried from Lahore to Multan as NL-1 to perform flight NL-678 to Muscat from Multan.

The A319 landed at Multan Airport at 8:53 PM.
