  "summary": "Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) and Afghanistan's Kam Air have signed an interline cooperation agreement, creating a transit route via Islamabad to link Afghan passengers with Middle Eastern destinations. This partnership will streamline travel for Afghan travellers and diaspora workers, allowing them to book a complete journey on a single reservation and avoiding the need to collect and recheck checked baggage during transit. The initial route established is Kabul-Islamabad-Dammam, with plans to expand to other high-demand destinations such as Madinah, Muscat, and Al Ain in the future, catering to religious travellers, workers, and business passengers.",
