By In a historic move to modernize Punjab’s transportation and boost regional connectivity, the Punjab Cabinet has officially approved the launch of Air Punjab, the province’s first-ever airline. This groundbreaking initiative, championed by Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz, is expected to become operational within the next 12 months and is being hailed as a transformative step in the region’s development.
Air Punjab aims to make air travel more affordable and accessible, especially for domestic and regional passengers, while also stimulating economic activity through increased tourism, trade, and employment opportunities. The airline is set to become a key component of Punjab’s growing infrastructure ecosystem, reflecting a broader vision for public service enhancement and sustainable progress.
The airline’s approval was part of a comprehensive reform agenda unveiled during a high-level cabinet meeting led by CM Maryam Nawaz. The session also introduced several people-centric initiatives, including:
- Electric public buses to promote eco-friendly urban transport
- A new wheat subsidy program aimed at supporting low-income households
- Major upgrades in public education, particularly in school infrastructure
- The development of a 5,000-kanal medical city, expected to house advanced treatment centers, medical research hubs, and educational institutes for healthcare professionals
CM Maryam Nawaz emphasized that these projects are not just about rapid development, but also about long-term sustainability and inclusive growth. The launch of Air Punjab underscores this strategy by addressing both economic and mobility needs across the province.
“We are committed to delivering large-scale, people-focused solutions that reshape public services and uplift the standard of living for everyone in Punjab,” said CM Maryam.
As Punjab prepares for takeoff—both literally and figuratively—Air Punjab stands as a symbol of ambition and modernization, aligning infrastructure with innovation and governance with vision.
