Since commencing operations in November 2022, Fly Jinnah has rapidly become a prominent name in Pakistan's aviation sector. The airline recently received approval from the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) to operate CAT III approaches, arrivals, and departures.
As the sole domestic airline with CAT III certification for its entire fleet and pilots, Fly Jinnah is now equipped to operate efficiently in challenging visibility conditions, particularly during fog between major cities in Pakistan.
CAT III, part of the Instrument Landing System (ILS), is crucial for assisting landing operations in low-visibility scenarios. The certification enhances Fly Jinnah's capability to navigate and operate smoothly in adverse weather conditions.
Last year, the federal cabinet granted Fly Jinnah authorization for international operations based on the recommendation of the Aviation Ministry. The airline plans to serve overseas destinations, including Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Iraq, Malaysia, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Thailand, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates.
In addition to its CAT III certification, Fly Jinnah has been recognized by the CAA for leading in domestic flight punctuality. The airline achieved an impressive on-time departure rate of 87.93%, surpassing competitors like Air Sial, Air Blue, and Serene Airlines.
