Pakistan’s K2 Airways acquires its first aircraft, an E190

K2 Airways, Pakistan’s newest airline, is nearly complete. It will be the first private airline in Pakistan to use Embraer E-Jets.

The company intends to use two (02) Embraer E-190 aircraft this year to fly to particular domestic locations. To make travel easier for Pakistani travelers, links between smaller, under-used airports in Pakistan and Karachi, Islamabad, and Lahore are being built. By giving travelers option to select the ideal airport within the catchment area, the airline will reduce the gap. To supplement the existing domestic airlines‘ operations, the airline can also act as a feeder carrier.

K2 Airlines has a well-considered plan to broaden and change the travel experience of the passengers through the exposure of Embraer E-Jets cabin, which is built on 2+2 row seating and provides enough of leg room. K2 Airways is supported by prosperous Pakistani businessmen and professionals based in the United Arab Emirates who have a remarkable passion for aviation. They support the use of modern automation tools and the inclusion of young and dynamic professionals in the team in order to build a robust, technologically sound, and digitally enabled aviation entity in Pakistan.

The Embraer E190 aircraft, which has just the “perfect capacity” to serve the domestic market, will be introduced by K2 Airlines, according to Senior Manager Commercial Sarah Khoso. Based on its roomy cabin and pleasant seat arrangement without a middle seat, we want to see the Embraer E190 become more popular. Khoso continued, “K2 Airlines intends to develop markets, serve the majority of airports, and do its best to provide schedule flexibility to the common person.”
