The interior minister also congratulated Defence Minister Khawaja Asif, the Secretary Defence, the Civil Aviation Authority and the entire Fly Jinnah management and team on what he called a remarkable achievement.
“Pakistan’s aviation sector is moving forward and we are expecting more good news from PIA Management also,” Naqvi added in his message.
Fly Jinnah is a low-cost carrier that has been expanding its operations in Pakistan, adding aircraft and routes as demand for domestic and regional air travel grows. The addition of an 11th aircraft marks another step in the airline’s fleet expansion.
Aviation experts say fleet growth by private carriers helps increase competition, improve connectivity between cities and offer passengers more choice. A larger fleet also allows an airline to operate more flights and to open new destinations.
Pakistan’s aviation sector has seen renewed activity in recent years, with private airlines investing in new aircraft and the national carrier working on its own revival plans. Government officials have repeatedly said that a strong aviation sector supports trade, tourism and business travel.
The minister’s message comes as the government continues to highlight improvements in the aviation industry, including better services and expanded routes for passengers travelling within Pakistan and abroad.
Adding aircraft allows an airline to increase flight frequencies on busy routes and to consider new destinations. For passengers, a bigger fleet usually means more departure times to choose from and a better chance of finding a seat on the day they want to travel.
Domestic air travel in Pakistan has grown as more people fly between major cities for business, family visits and tourism. Low-cost carriers have played a large part in that growth by offering lower fares than full-service airlines, bringing air travel within reach of more passengers.
The government has said it wants to see the aviation sector continue to grow, with more private investment, better airport facilities and stronger links between Pakistani cities and destinations abroad.
