PM to launch Pakistan's third private airline on Dec 9

Prime Minister Imran Khan will visit Sialkot on December 9 to formally launch the newly established private airline, AirSial.

According to media reports, the PM will also address a special ceremony at the Sialkot International Airport.

Earlier, while charing the federal cabinet meeting, the PM had approved the issuance of aviation license to AirSial.

On Sunday, three Airbus A320-200s of AirSial — the airline launched by Sialkot’s business community — arrived at the Jinnah International Airport, Karachi, from Phoenix, Arizona, via Egypt.

The privately-owned airline was granted permission to run its operations by the Aviation Division in 2017. It also plans to launch flights to foreign destinations.
