Pakistan’s new private airline, Air Karachi, is actively negotiating with China’s Commercial Aircraft Corporation (COMAC) for C919 narrow-body aircraft. This comes alongside parallel discussions with aviation giants Boeing and Airbus.

Launched in November 2024 with Rs5 billion backing from XXX Karachi business leaders, Air Karachi recently secured its Regular Public Transport licence from Pakistan’s Civil Aviation Authority (June 5, 2025).

Chairman Hanif Gohar expects a deal for at least three aircraft to commence domestic operations within this month. The C919, which entered commercial service with China Southern Airlines in mid-September 2024, carries 158-192 passengers with a 4,075-5,555km range, directly competing with Boeing XXX and Airbus A320 models.

This marks a potential breakthrough for Chinese aviation manufacturing in Pakistan's market, as business leaders step up to fill gaps left by the struggling state carrier PIA. A successful collaboration could also set a regional precedent for other carriers to consider more cost-effective aircraft.
