Nottingham East Midlands airport (EMA) will be entertaining travellers in its check-in hall with music this week to mark the beginning of a service to Pakistan.
The commencement of a new route operated by UK International Airlines (UKIA) will be celebrated with a range of different types of cultural music being played to see off the first passengers.
Twice-weekly services will travel to Islamabad via Sharjah, near Dubai, with the first flight taking off this Friday.
