Airblue Starts Direct Flights to Quetta from Islamabad and Lahore

Airblue has launched direct flights to Quetta from Islamabad and Lahore, adding two routes to its domestic network.

The new services began on October 26, 2026. Airblue will operate five flights a week across the two routes: two weekly flights from Islamabad and three from Lahore.

Flight schedule

The Islamabad–Quetta service operates on Mondays and Thursdays. The Lahore–Quetta route operates on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays.

The flights give passengers in both cities a direct air connection to Balochistan’s provincial capital. The new services may offer an alternative to longer road journeys for people travelling for business, family visits or tourism.

Airblue announced the routes earlier in October and said bookings were available through its website, mobile app, sales offices and authorised travel agents. Passengers should check the airline’s booking channels for current departure times and availability.

More domestic connections

The new routes expand Airblue’s domestic network and add scheduled links between Quetta and two major urban centres. The airline has not announced additional weekly frequencies for the services in its launch announcement.

The Islamabad and Lahore flights bring Quetta’s combined Airblue service to five weekly departures, giving travellers more options for reaching the city by air.
