The airline brought in a
B737-400(BDSF) earlier this year, now registered locally as AP-BOI (msn 29210),
to establish its domestic services. Following this, K2 Airways aims to expand
into the Gulf market.
CEO Tariq Raja highlighted that Gulf
carriers currently handle around 700 tonnes of cargo daily to and from
Pakistan, and he believes K2 Airways can offer competitive pricing alongside
