The decision to launch an airline came days after the National Command and Operation Centre (NCOC) lifted a ban on tourism imposed in the wake of a surge in coronavirus cases ahead of Eid.
The pandemic has hit the tourism sector badly as most tourist spots across Pakistan remained closed. Now, people can travel up north and other parts of the country amid strict compliance with the SOPs.
