CAA issues show cause notice to two Pakistani airlines

ISLAMABAD – The country’s aviation regulator has issued show cause notice to two private airlines of the country over multiple complaints.

The show cause notices were issued to Air Blue and Serene Air for exceeding flight delays and violation of passenger rights, stated a press release issued by the regulator on Thursday.

The show cause notice to Air Blue was issued on January 15th while Serene Air was issued the same notice on January 2nd.

The Civil Aviation Authority has also warned that if the carriers don’t improve their performance, regulatory measures such as financial penalties, license suspension or cancellation, and reducing the number of scheduled flights are on the table.

The aviation watchdog has highlighted that by failing to conduct flight operations on time and regularly, operators disregarded established regulatory standards, resulting in significant disruption.

‘The PCAA remains committed to upholding passenger safety, comfort, and convenience, ensuring that all airlines operating within the country’s airspace adhere to the highest industry standards,’ the press release stated.
