Muscat: The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has approved the budget airline, Fly Jinnah, to operate flights from two Pakistani airports.
Starting from May 2, the airline gets approval to operate three weekly flights between Karachi and Muscat and two weekly flights between Muscat and Islamabad.
Fly Jinnah or FJ is the low-cost carrier (LCC) owned and operated jointly by Lakson Group of Pakistan and Air Arabia Group of the United Arab Emirates.
The airline is based in Karachi and currently serves five domestic destinations.
The airline started domestic flight operations on October 31, 2022, when its first flight took off from Jinnah International Airport in Karachi and landed at Islamabad International Airport in Islamabad.
After completing one year of domestic flights in October 2023, Fly Jinnah was permitted by the Pakistani government to operate international routes to Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Iraq, Malaysia, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Thailand, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates.
Last week, Fly Jinnah opened its second international route connecting Lahore with Sharjah, a month after its inaugural flight from Islamabad to Sharjah.
