Online air taxi service in Pakistan soon

Fare for the service will be much lower than typical charter flights, says owner.

KARACHI: Pakistan is set to get its first ever online aerial taxi service that would allow people to travel anywhere within the country. 

The modern facility is launched by a private company Sky Wings in collaboration with a foreign investor in Karachi and will be available to the people in the next two weeks. 

In this regard, Jinnah International Airport in the port city has also signed an agreement. 

Imran Aslam Khan, Sky Wings Aviation’s chief operating officer (COO),  said that individuals can choose their desired time and destination through the mobile app, similar to other taxi booking applications. 

Khan said that the fare for the travelling service will be much lower than the typical charter flights which cost Rs2.5 million for a trip from Karachi to different cities in Sindh and Balochistan. 

The taxi service has eight aircraft with two to six seats initially, however, more aircraft will be launched in the coming days.
