First Ever Islamabad Flights Get Off To A Flying Start 12 February 2008 The first ever direct flights to Islamabad have got off to a flying start from Leeds Bradford International Airport (LBIA). The twice-weekly service is proving extremely popular with travellers not only from the Yorkshire region but also with visitors from across the Pennines too. The first passengers to check in for the flight were the Majid family from Oldham in Lancashire, who were happy to accept some complimentary Yorkshire Tea to give to their family in Pakistan. Mr & Mrs Majid, who were using the service to visit family, said, “This service is extremely convenient for us and gives us more choice of availability and fares.” To check availability and fares please visit www.ababeel.co.uk, telephone 0845 500 7575 or contact your local booking agent.
