Aviation companies contact Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority (PCAA) for permits
At least three potential start-ups
and one carrier looking to resume operations have re-engaged with the Pakistan
Civil Aviation Authority (PCAA) to secure the necessary certificates and
permits to begin flying.
Q Airways, GoGreen Airways, and Jet
Green Airlines have reportedly renewed discussions with the PCAA regarding the
licensing and certification process. Meanwhile, Air Indus, which halted
operations in 2015, is seeking to restart flights. Air Indus has been
attempting to resume services in various forms since 2016.

In March 2022, reports indicated
that Q Airways had received its RPT licence and was awaiting its air operator's
certificate, with plans to launch operations in the latter half of that year
using three Airbus A320-200s, followed by a transition to widebody aircraft.
