International operations were extended to Muscat in Oman from June 2023.

History

The concept of Air Sial was first mentioned on February 24 2008 by Sialkot International Airport Limited chairman Babar Iqbal who announced the establishment of their "own airline for providing cheaper and advanced travelling facilities on domestic and international routes". Babar Iqbal said that the airline would be set up under the joint supervision of SIAL and the Sialkot Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCI).[2]

AirSial was launched by the Sialkot Chamber of Commerce & Industry to improve air travel to and from the Sialkot region, which is a major industrial city in the province of Punjab. The airline initially served domestic destinations within Pakistan from its operational hub at Sialkot International Airport using a fleet of 3 Airbus A320 aircraft, flying to other major airports within Pakistan.[3] AirSial plans to further expand to destinations within the Middle East.[4] On April 14 2016 the company Air Sial formally started the registration of directors of “Airsial” under the supervision of the Sialkot Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCI). Fazal Jillani took over as the patron-in-chief of the project. At the time Mr Jilani said, "he hoped that the new airline would begin its operation by the end of the current year (2018)". He also said that Air Sial's management would prefer to buy Boeing 737-800 aircraft for its domestic and international flight operations.[5]

Later in June 2016, Mr Fazal Jillani said that “as many as 35 leading Overseas Pakistani investors have shown a keen interest in investing in the grand project of “Air Sial” airline.” The airline was registered by the Security Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) as “Air Sial Limited” company.[6]

In December 2016 Air Sial submitted its Regular Public Transport (RPT) request to the Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). On 27 October 2017 the Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Shaikh Aftab, who was replying on behalf of the Minister for Aviation, said that a licence was granted to Air Sial Limited last month to start operations in Pakistan. [7] According to Fazal Jillani, the license was received in the first week of October 2017. In the same interview, he said that "Air Sial shall take to air in May-June, 2018".[8] In May 2018 Mr Jillani again gave a new date for the launch of operations. This time he said that "all the operational arrangements have been completed to ensure the early start of the airline before the end of this year (2018)".[9] In December 2018 Prime Minister Imran Khan approved the operations of Air Sial. However, the airline did not launch its operations in December 2018.[10] The launch plan was postponed to the first quarter of 2019 which was further delayed.
