KARACHI: The Sindh High Court (SHC) has allowed Air Indus to continue its operations.
The private airline moved the court when Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) issued a notice of suspending its operation, citing safety and security concerns.
According to a senior official of the airline, there is no issue of safety with the company or its aircraft, the main point of contention between Air Indus and the CAA has been last year’s terrorist attack on Karachi airport in which its aircrafts were damaged.
“We had a fleet of three aircrafts and two of them were damaged. That was major blow for us as it completely threw our economies off the track. And nobody compensated us,” he said.
Leased aircrafts are always insured but the company that owned the planes faced delays in getting them repaired. The airline is still waiting to induct back one of Boeing 737-300, which is being repaired in Dubai.
