Pakistan has revolutionized air travel for citizens by launching its first-ever online air taxi service in Karachi.
Individuals can conveniently book air travel based on their preferred time and destination through the innovative service.
Now, individuals can reserve an air taxi at the comfort of their homes through a user-friendly mobile app, similar to booking a regular taxi.
The launch of the aerial air taxi service took place in Karachi, with the official signing of the lease agreement for the DA 40 Diamond series aircraft at the Civil Aviation office adjacent to Karachi Airport.
Imran Aslam Khan, the Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Sky Wings Aviation, expressed his excitement about this milestone. He stated that the aircraft designated for aerial tours has arrived in Pakistan following a successful test flight.
The single-engine plane has a seating capacity of four passengers.

The single-engine plane, with a seating capacity of four passengers, aims to provide emergency transportation from Karachi to remote areas in rural Sindh and Balochistan through aerial tours.
The German-manufactured aircraft, with a speed of up to 160 kilometers per hour and a flight range of 2,000 kilometers, offers efficient air travel, making it an ideal choice.
Imran stated that the upcoming mobile app will allow citizens to choose their preferred time and destination for air travel.
Notably, the fare for this innovative air taxi will be significantly lower compared to typical charter services, which typically start at a cost of Rs2.5 million for a trip from Karachi to various cities in Sindh and Balochistan.
Initially, the air taxi service will begin with eight aircraft of varying capacities, with plans to incorporate additional planes in the near future.
“The COO emphasized that this service is not limited to political, religious, or business personalities but will be accessible to individuals from all walks of life,” he said.
Khan further highlighted that the journey from Karachi to Gwadar will take approximately three hours, while reaching Nawabshah can be achieved within a short timeframe of one hour and 15 minutes.
The Sky Wings has additionally launched an air ambulance service and a one-day pilot program, guaranteeing efficient and prompt services for those in need.
