The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has suspended Serene Air’s flight operations after it was found that the airline currently has no operational aircraft. The regulator has also instructed the airline to return its Air Operator Certificate, citing a clear violation of aviation regulations.
Serene Air, which has been operating since 2017 as a private carrier in Pakistan, is now facing serious challenges to continue its services. The suspension means that all scheduled flights have been canceled until further notice, leaving passengers uncertain and frustrated.
According to Serene Air, one of its planes is currently grounded in Saudi Arabia following a bird strike. The airline has stated that it is working on resolving the issue, but has not provided a timeline for when its fleet will be back in service.
Industry observers note that the suspension could have long-term consequences for the airline’s reputation and financial health, especially given the tough competition in Pakistan’s aviation sector.
Other airlines may temporarily see higher passenger loads as travelers look for alternatives.
The CAA’s action underscores its strict stance on safety and operational standards, making it clear that no airline will be allowed to fly without meeting the required conditions.
