It had been expected that AirSial would launch its flight operations in June 2020 but it delayed them due to the pandemic situation. However, the airline is now set to run its first flight in Pakistan by mid-December.
The Aviation Division had allowed AirSial to run its operations in Pakistan in 2017, following which the PM approved the issuance of an aviation license to AirSial while chairing a federal cabinet meeting.
