AirSial
AirSial is Pakistan’s third private airline company and will cater to domestic travelers, increasing competition in the domestic air travel market which will be beneficial for public as airlines will be forced to introduce much improved services at low costs.
The airline is the project of members of the Sialkot Chamber of Commerce and Industry who previously built Sialkot International Airport Ltd on their own after government’s failure to do so.
Initially the airline will operate flights to and from Karachi, Islamabad, Lahore, Peshawar and Sialkot.
