Pakistan's K2 Airways receives its first B737F-400 aircraft
K2 Airways (KTA, Karachi International) has ferried in its first
B737-400(BDSF) aircraft. Currently registered as VP-CFG (msn 29210), the
aircraft arrived in Pakistan after completing pre-delivery maintenance at
Jakarta Soekarno-Hatta. It is expected to be registered locally as AP-BOI.
K2 Airways transitioned to freight-only operations after a 2023 plan to
lease two passenger-configured E190s fell through due to the supplier's
inability to provide a second aircraft.

renews charter license of K2 Airways
The airline had intended to launch passenger charter flights, but local
regulations require operators to have at least two aircraft to obtain or retain
a passenger charter air operator's certificate (AOC).
K2 Airways CEO Tariq Raja expressed optimism about securing a second
freighter later this year, stabilizing cargo operations, and revisiting the
passenger charter initiative. He aims to have AP-BOI commence revenue
operations within the next few weeks.
