The cheapest form of air travel in the nation, Fly Jinnah, a brand-new private airline, was officially opened as it began operating flights from Karachi.
In a joint venture with the international airline Air Arabia, Fly Jinnah has successfully completed its first trip from Karachi to Islamabad.
In Karachi, the official opening ceremony was place in a luxury hotel. Fly Jinnah is a low-cost carrier, according to the airline’s chief operating officer, Arman Yahya. According to him, the airline would maintain low operational costs, which will benefit the general public through inexpensive rates.
Yahya stated at the occasion that “Air Arabia has mostly helped us in the training sector and their support is always with us.”
Three Airbus A-320 aircraft, one of which, AP-BOP, was utilised on the inaugural trip, are part of the Fly Jinnah fleet. The same plane will fly the visitors from Islamabad back to Karachi.
On the inaugural flight from Karachi to Islamabad, passengers included former prime minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, Fly Jinnah chairman Iqbal Lakhani, Air Arabia COE Adil Al Ali, senator Saleem Mandviwala, members of show business, and travel brokers.
Today marks the official start of commercial flights (Wednesday).
