ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s aviation sector is poised for revival and renewed momentum as the Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC) has fast-tracked decade-long pending approvals for M/s Jet Green Private Limited, paving the way for the USD 30 million airline project to be materialised and operationalised soon.

According to an SIFC’s statement, through targeted intervention, it played a central role in resolving the deadlock by coordinating across key stakeholders. The council facilitated end-to-end processing, including aviation licensing, safety vetting, commercial permits, and airline certification, ensuring regulatory compliance while significantly reducing bureaucratic delays.

With all major approvals now secured, Jet Green is transitioning from the “file stage” to operational readiness, marking the entry of a new private airline into Pakistan’s aviation market. The development is expected to enhance competition, improve service standards, and generate employment across aviation and allied sectors.

This milestone highlights SIFC’s proactive role in unlocking stalled investments and restoring investor confidence. It sends a strong signal of Pakistan’s commitment to facilitating business growth, accelerating decision-making, and modernising key sectors of the economy.

The facilitation process covered multiple regulatory requirements, including aviation licensing, safety clearances, commercial operating permissions, and airline certification.

Authorities said the coordinated approach ensured compliance with national aviation standards while significantly reducing processing time.

With all major approvals now in place, Jet Green has moved from the documentation phase to operational readiness, paving the way for the entry of a new private airline into Pakistan’s aviation market.

The development is expected to strengthen competition in the sector, improve passenger services, and generate employment opportunities in aviation and related industries.
