All Pakistani Airlines Included in Free Air Travel Facility for the Parliamentarians

[Abbas Ali]

Through an amendment in the Members of Parliament Act of 1974, the government has extended the free air travel by the parliamentarians to all Pakistani airlines. Earlier, the parliamentarians’ entitlement was limited to only Pakistan International Airlines (PIA).

Each member of the parliament is entitled to avail up to Rs300,000 worth of free air travel within Pakistan. Through another amendment, the government has enhanced the business class travel for attending the assembly sessions from 20 trips to 25 trips from and to Islamabad from anywhere in the country. This is in addition to Rs300,000 air travel.
