PEW Peshawar

How deep the PEW board really is

The table above says where a courier can fly from PEW. This reads the same 9 destinations back for the questions a dispatcher asks second: how much of the board rests on one airline, how much of it runs less than daily, whether the return leg is as thick as the outbound and what the clock here does to a Gulf working day, all of it computed on 2026-09-07 from AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics.

• 3of the 9 destinations are flown by one airline
• 5destinations run less than once a day
• 0destinations have four or more departures a day
• 55.6%of the destinations name Pakistan International Airlines, the largest presence here

Who holds the departures at PEW

Nine airlines appear on the PEW board and they do not hold it evenly. Pakistan International Airlines is on 5 of the 9 destinations, 55.6 per cent of them, and on every one of them it shares the sector with someone else. The destinations it appears on carry 6.2 of the 8.6 departures a day this airport files, though other airlines fly some of the same sectors, so read that as reach rather than as a share of the aircraft.

The next largest presence is Air Arabia on 2 destinations. 6 of the 9 airlines at PEW appear on a single destination each, which is the long tail every airport carries, and none of it is a rebooking option when the sector you need is the one that fell over.

An airport held this tightly is quick to book and slow to recover: with 5 of the 9 destinations on one airline, the second aircraft on a PEW sector is usually another Pakistan International Airlines aircraft, and when there is not one the desk is looking at another airport rather than another airline. That is why the alternate airports listed above matter more at PEW than the destination count does.

How much of the PEW board is daily

Of the 9 destinations, 4 are flown at least once a day and 5 are not, though none of them drops to once a week or less. The median destination on the PEW board is flown 4 times a week.

An average of 0.29 flights a day is the schedule statistic, and it is worth translating it before anything is promised to anybody: PEW to Muscat (MCT) is 2 a week, so a missed departure there is not a delay of hours, it is the next slot.

The five busiest destinations carry 7 of the 8.6 departures a day, 80.9 per cent of the whole board. On that arithmetic PEW is five sectors and a short tail, so the depth on the board above is thinner than the destination count suggests and a hand carry that is not going to one of those five is planned around a single departure time.

The way back from PEW

The desk holds the return direction for 9 of the 9 destinations, and a courier plans the way back on those figures rather than on the outbound. On none of those 9 does the return run more than a quarter thinner than the outbound, so a turnaround through PEW is a question of hours rather than of whether an aircraft exists.

It runs the other way as well: Dubai (DXB) files 1 a day back into PEW against 0.36 outbound, which is the shape that strands a courier at this end rather than at the far end.

The clock at PEW

PEW keeps Asia/Karachi time, an hour ahead of Dubai all year.

When it is 09:00 on a Dubai working morning it is 10:00 at PEW, so a nine to six day at each end overlaps for eight hours. That is wide enough to settle a customs question at PEW and still make a departure the same day.

Where PEW turns up on the rest of this site

The airport also sits behind the Pakistan country desk, which sets out the customs practice, the working week and the road legs behind this airport.

Two courier postings name PEW as the airport a courier here flies from: Peshawar and Rawalpindi.

To price a movement rather than read the board, the route calculator opens with PEW already set as the origin, and it works out the flying time, the distance and the delivery hour for any of the 9 destinations above.
