No, it’s more along the lines of “build a high-speed rail line from Karachi to Islamabad” instead of encouraging further air travel. The corridor is around 1500 km long, so a line with an average operating speed of 320 kph would enable sub-5 hour journey times, and allow for a reduction or elimination of air services between the two cities (currently 105 per week).
