Fly Jinnah, a prominent player in Pakistan’s aviation sector, has achieved a significant milestone by receiving CAT III clearance from Pakistan’s Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). This certification allows the airline to operate CAT III approaches, arrivals, and departures, making it the only domestic carrier in the country with this distinction for its entire fleet and all pilots.
CAT III status is crucial as it enables airlines to navigate and operate seamlessly in adverse weather conditions, especially in foggy conditions prevalent between major cities in Pakistan. With this certification, Fly Jinnah will enhance its capability to provide reliable services even in low visibility situations.
The Category 3 (CAT III) of the Instrument Landing System (ILS) is particularly important for facilitating safe landing operations in challenging visibility conditions. By obtaining this clearance, Fly Jinnah demonstrates its commitment to ensuring the safety and convenience of its passengers.
In addition to this achievement, Fly Jinnah has also received approval from the federal cabinet for its international operations. The airline plans to cater to destinations such as Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Iraq, Malaysia, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Thailand, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates. This expansion into international markets will further strengthen Fly Jinnah’s position as a leading aviation player in the region.
Moreover, Fly Jinnah has proven its reliability by securing the top position in the CAA’s domestic flight punctuality rankings. With an impressive on-time departure rate of 87.93%, Fly Jinnah surpassed other domestic carriers such as Air Sial, Air Blue, and Serene Airlines.
Fly Jinnah’s rapid rise in Pakistan’s aviation sector, its CAT III certification, international expansion plans, and exceptional punctuality record are all indicators of its commitment to providing high-quality service to its passengers. As the airline continues to grow, it is poised to make a significant impact on the industry and offer increased connectivity options both domestically and internationally.
