The Chief Operating Officer of Sky Wings told Reuters that“We want to show the world that Pakistan is not all about Financial Action Task Force (FATF) and terrorism issues. It a very diverse country and a land of opportunities”.

Truck art has breached international markets as one of the most famous cultural export in the last few years. International entities such as UNESCO have used this art in a mixture of indigenous designs to promote girls’ education in Pakistan’s northern areas.

Painter Haider Ali also talked with Reuters, adding that “the world is familiar with our truck art representation. Now, with this aircraft, our colors will fly in the air. We are really excited”.
