For Pakistani students who are going to China to pursue academic degrees, Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has provided a 20 percent discount.
According to an airline spokesman, the national flag carrier has recently raised the luggage allowance to 60 kg.
Currently, PIA flies one flight per week on Sundays between Islamabad and Beijing.
The discount may be useful to students who intend to spend their summer vacations in Pakistan or who wish to return home after earning their degrees.
Before, students who wanted to visit China could now receive a 27% reduction on their flights through PIA.
On Eid ul Fitr, the national flag airline also reduced the cost of domestic flights by 20% for both economy and executive economy classes.
