SouthAir Secures AOC, Nears Launch of Commercial Flight Operations in Pakistan

Pakistan’s emerging aviation sector is set for new competition as FlySouthAir has officially secured its Air Operator Certificate (AOC), marking a key milestone toward the launch of commercial flight operations.

The approval confirms that SouthAir has met all regulatory requirements related to safety standards, operational readiness, and compliance protocols set by aviation authorities. The AOC is a mandatory certification for any airline before it can begin scheduled passenger services.

With the certification now granted, FlySouthAir has entered the final phase of preparations ahead of its official launch. The airline is expected to announce details of its routes, fleet, and operational schedule in the coming weeks.

Industry observers say the entry of SouthAir could increase competition in Pakistan’s domestic aviation market, potentially improving connectivity and offering passengers more travel options and services.

The development comes at a time when Pakistan’s aviation industry is gradually expanding, with new carriers aiming to tap into rising travel demand and strengthen the country’s air transport network.
