Air Punjab is ready to begin flight operations in March 2026. The launch marks a major step for Punjab’s aviation sector and domestic air travel.

The airline’s first flight will operate on the Lahore–Islamabad route. This route will officially launch Air Punjab’s domestic services. Officials say it will improve fast and reliable travel between two major cities.

The project reflects the vision of Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif. She introduced the idea to strengthen provincial transport and connectivity. What once seemed ambitious has now become a reality.

Air Punjab aims to offer affordable air travel. The airline plans to improve passenger convenience and reduce travel time. Authorities believe this will increase public trust in domestic aviation.

The provincial airline will also support economic growth. Officials say it will create new jobs in aviation, engineering, and ground services. Local professionals are expected to benefit the most.

Final preparations are underway ahead of the launch. Regulatory approvals, aircraft readiness, and staff training are in progress. The management is focusing on safety and service quality.
