Govt allows Airblue, Serene Air to fly on international routes
Relaxes aviation policy in wake of Covid-19 pandemic
ISLAMABAD:
The government has relaxed its aviation policy to allow Airblue to continue flying on international routes and has also permitted Serene Air to start international flights.
According to Article 4.5(a) (iv) read with Article 4.4, Pakistan’s scheduled carriers are required to operate on primary and socio-economic routes. However, over the course of more than one year since the policy came into effect, both Serene Air and Airblue have not been able to operate 5% of their capacity - available seat kilometre - each on primary and socio-economic routes as required under the said article.
