We were given permits to attend the Abu Dhabi Aviation Expo 2022, one of the most famous air shows. Over the show, we checked a few airplanes, and everything was excellent.
We saw the Gulfstream 600 and the Bombardier Q400, the Air Arabia Airbus A321neo, and the Abu Dhabi AW Helicopter, among many other aircraft.

Let’s go over each one one by one. We would like to thank Mr. Ajith and Samson for representing the airline Marvel by covering airshows.

One of the most prosperous aviation exhibits in the area is now the Abu Dhabi Air Expo.
This expo, which is geared toward professionals, provides guests with access to a broad and comprehensive selection of the rapidly expanding aviation industry.

The Abu Dhabi Air Expo offers luxurious, bespoke chalets as well as a static exhibition of the newest aircraft.
There is a variety of aircraft available, including helicopters, ultralights, and corporate jets.

EASA Ends Suspension on PIA, Approves Flights to Europe

Pakistan's National Airline Set for Privatization as Elections Loom

The suspension of Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) from operating in Europe is finally over, marking a significant turning point for Pakistan’s aviation sector.

After years of scrutiny and stringent safety assessments, the European Commission and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) have officially lifted the ban on PIA. This decision also grants Airblue authorization to operate flights to Europe, further enhancing Pakistan’s connectivity with the region.

PIA’s suspension, initially imposed in June 2020, was a direct consequence of concerns regarding the oversight capabilities of Pakistan’s Civil Aviation Authority (PCAA). These concerns were triggered shortly after a tragic PIA plane crash that claimed 97 lives, prompting an investigation into the validity of pilot licenses issued in the country.

Now, after four years of continuous efforts and reforms by the PCAA, EASA has expressed renewed confidence in Pakistan’s aviation regulatory framework. In a statement, EASA highlighted that Pakistan has successfully addressed safety compliance issues, enabling PIA to resume its operations within the European Union.

A spokesperson for PIA expressed optimism, emphasizing the airline’s commitment to strictly adhere to EASA’s regulations and guidelines. “This milestone has been achieved after four years of relentless efforts by the PIA management,” the spokesperson said.

The lifting of the ban is expected to have a profound impact on PIA’s future. The airline, which employs over 7,000 people, has faced criticism in the past for poor management, financial instability, and regulatory challenges.

However, the restoration of European operations is seen as a vital step toward regaining its competitive edge, improving its financial standing, and restoring its reputation on the global stage.

Pakistan’s government, which has been exploring options to privatize the debt-laden national carrier, is hopeful that this development will attract foreign investment and bolster the country’s aviation industry.

With a renewed focus on compliance and safety, PIA is now poised to rebuild its presence in Europe, offering Pakistani travelers and international passengers more connectivity and improved service.
