Pakistan’s aviation sector witnessing transformative
innovation
In a landscape of challenges and opportunities, Pakistan's
aviation sector is witnessing transformative innovation from two startups,
Airman's Ground and Jet Engine Inventions. These ventures represent beacons of
hope in a nation grappling with operational difficulties and the need for
cultivating the next generation of pilots and aviation engineers.
Airman's Ground, led by Captain Qadar Sarfraz, is
revolutionizing pilot education through a personalized, one-on-one instruction
approach. Achieving a remarkable 100% passing rate, the academy offers flexible
courses, including Ab-initio, Private Pilot License (PPL), Commercial Pilot

academy's commitment to personalized instruction and flexibility is addressing
the challenges of time management in pilot training, enabling students to
schedule classes at their convenience.
On the other front, Dr. Sarah Qureshi's Jet Engine
Inventions is focused on filling the technological gap in jet engine development
in Pakistan. With the goal of establishing a mass production facility for
high-tech jet engines, the startup aims to transform Pakistan into a hub of
advanced jet engine development. Overcoming power constraints, their innovative
jet engine technology has the potential to revolutionize drone applications,
from agriculture to logistics and disaster relief.

Jet Engine Inventions, a finalist at the Shell Tameer
Awards, envisions making Pakistan a part of the league of nations producing jet
engines. Dr. Sarah emphasizes that jet engine research, development, and
manufacturing offer substantial value addition, economic strength, and reduced
import costs and dependencies. The support from Shell Tameer plays a crucial
role in enabling Jet Engine Inventions to achieve this monumental goal.
Both startups, driven by their founders' resilience,
determination, and pioneering spirit, are shaping the future of aviation in
Pakistan. Airman's Ground is leading the evolution of pilot training towards
accessibility, technology-driven learning, and customization. Jet Engine
Inventions is on a mission to redefine urban air mobility in Pakistan,
unlocking new possibilities and reshaping the nation's technological landscape.
These ventures serve as guiding stars propelling Pakistan's
aviation industry into an era of growth, innovation, and global engagement. In
the skies above Pakistan, a transformation is underway, led by the unwavering
commitment of Airman's Ground and Jet Engine Inventions to progress and
excellence.
