> AirSial is adding a daily non-stop Islamabad to Quetta flight on an A320, a day before Airblue starts the same route. Times, flight numbers and what to check before booking.

**AirSial will fly Islamabad to Quetta non-stop every day from Sunday 25 October 2026**, [ProPakistani reported](https://propakistani.pk/2026/10/09/airsial-to-launch-new-route-from-october-25/) on Friday. The airline will use an **Airbus A320** on the route, in both directions.

## AirSial Islamabad to Quetta flight schedule

| Flight | Route | Departs | Arrives | Flying time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| **PF163** | Islamabad to Quetta | 12:00pm | 1:30pm | About 1 hour 30 minutes |
| **PF164** | Quetta to Islamabad | 2:30pm | 3:55pm | About 1 hour 25 minutes |

The flights run **daily, seven days a week**, so a day trip from Islamabad to Quetta is not possible on AirSial (the return leaves an hour after arrival), but a Quetta passenger can reach Islamabad by mid-afternoon and connect onward the same day. Fares were not part of the announcement; check the price on AirSial's own website or app before booking, and compare it with the other airlines below.

## Two new Islamabad to Quetta flights in one week

AirSial's route starts **one day before Airblue's**. Airblue begins its own direct **Islamabad to Quetta and Lahore to Quetta flights on 26 October**, as we reported on 3 October: times and details are in our [Airblue Quetta flights story](/news/business/islamabad-to-quetta-and-lahore-to-quetta-flights-airblue-starts-direct-routes-on). Passengers between the federal capital and Balochistan's capital will soon have more daily non-stop choices than at any time this year, which usually helps fares.

For Quetta residents, a daily non-stop flight also means quicker access to Islamabad's embassies, the passport and NADRA head offices and Islamabad International Airport's foreign connections.

## Before you book

- **Compare the three:** PIA, Airblue (from 26 October) and AirSial (from 25 October) on the same date, since fares on new routes are often lowest in the first weeks.
- **Baggage:** A320 fares usually come in fare classes with different baggage limits; check what your ticket includes.
- **Getting to the airport:** for a 12pm departure from Islamabad, plan to reach the airport by about 10:30am.
- **Paying for fuel instead?** If you are weighing the drive, our [fuel cost calculator](/tools/cars/fuel-cost-calculator) works out the petrol for the trip at today's [petrol price](/data/petrol-price).

We will add fares to this page once AirSial publishes them.
