Karachi: Zong, a leading technology service provider in Pakistan, has partnered with the Pakistan Airports Authority (PAA) to introduce a 5G Customer Facilitation Desk at Jinnah International Airport in Karachi. This initiative is designed to offer both domestic and international travelers seamless access to SIM activation, high-speed mobile data services, and real-time customer support upon their arrival at one of the country's busiest airports.
According to Zong Pakistan, this launch is an expansion of Zong's first-of-its-kind airport facilitation model, which was previously deployed at international airports in Islamabad and Lahore.
