Air Blue and Serene Air Receive Notices for Flight Delays and Passenger Trouble

Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority has sanctioned Air Blue and Serene Air for exceeding flight delays and violating passenger rights.

Following lengthy flight delays and numerous cancellations that impacted hundreds of passengers, the Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority (PCAA) issued Serene Air and Air Blue with show-cause notices.

Serene Air and Air Blue received the notices on January 2 and January 15, respectively. Should the operators not convince Director General PCAA that such serious lapses will not happen again, regulatory measures such as financial penalties, license suspension or cancellation, and reducing the number of scheduled flights are on the table.

The show cause notices further state that operators disregarded established regulatory standards by failing to conduct flight operations on time and regularly, resulting in significant disruption.

PCAA remains committed to upholding passenger safety, comfort, and convenience, ensuring that all airlines operating within the country’s airspace adhere to the highest industry standards.


  • Airblue not inform the passengers about delay of lights until passengers reached the airport and then they wait 7 to 10 hours on airport.

  • Serene Air hadn’t made the REFUND of the cancelled flight number ER 520 dated 2nd January 2024 from Karachi to Lahore, as yet. My Wife and mother-in-law supposed to travel on iit.

    My flight was delayed for around 3 hours and it finally flew around 12am, from Islamabad. This was two days back.

  • serene airline is not good airline … its made us and our families in trouble on 4 january because of delay flight and then cancell

  • Agreed but there should be a warning only bcz if you will close these flights then how will we fly back home? I feel that you guys working on propaganda for Emirates or other airlines. Why should we pay emirates or other airlines if we have own airlines. Issue them fines only, our nation will not understand this that enemies are focused on to destroy our infrastructure though it is weak but still it is our own. Be patriotic and don’t pay to other airlines
