In wake of the Chinese New Year and winter holidays in China, PIA has already reduced fares for passengers travelling on the Beijing-Islamabad route.<br \/>\nThe new fare from Beijing to Islamabad is now RMB 4,681 including all taxes which will greatly facilitate those passengers wishing to travel to Pakistan to meet their families during holidays.<br \/>\nThe national flag carrier has also introduced a cut in the existing fare of the Beijing-Islamabad-Beijing round trip and the new price is now RMB 12,050 including all taxes.<br \/>\nChina has already announced to scrap the quarantine requirement for international arrivals starting from January 8.
