The Punjab government’s airline initiative, Air Punjab, has progressed to an advanced stage, with the working committee formally requesting Rs1 billion in funding from the provincial finance department. Designed to enhance regional connectivity and support domestic air travel, the project represents a significant development in the province’s transport infrastructure.
Officials have indicated that five aircraft will be leased during the initial operational phase, pending financial approval. This move marks a key milestone in the effort to establish Punjab’s first provincial airline, reflecting the government's broader strategy to improve accessibility and modernize travel options across the region.
