The PCAA noted that Serene Air’s license may be reinstated if aircraft are restored to operational status and a formal request for revival is submitted.
The Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority (PCAA) has suspended Serene Air’s Air Operator Certificate (AOC), grounding all domestic and international flights with immediate effect.
According to an official notification issued on Friday, the airline failed to meet the regulatory requirement of maintaining a minimum fleet size. The notice stated:
“Serene Air presently has zero serviceable aircraft available for operations, rendering it incapable of sustaining the operational capacity required to conduct safe air operations in accordance with applicable PCAA rules and regulations.”
As a result, the PCAA has directed Serene Air to surrender its AOC immediately.
In an official statement, Serene Air acknowledged the suspension and stated:
“Our flight operations are temporarily suspended due to unforeseen circumstances. This is a short-term pause, and our team is working diligently with authorities to ensure a swift return to service. Your safety, comfort, and trust remain our top priority.”
The airline assured passengers that management is fully engaged with the PCAA to address the suspension and restore operations promptly.
The order to suspend Serene Air’s AOC was signed by the Director of Flight Standards. A senior PCAA official revealed that the airline had been repeatedly warned to restore part of its fleet but failed to comply. Consequently, the PCAA had no choice but to suspend the AOC and issue a public notice to inform the public.
The PCAA noted that Serene Air’s license may be reinstated if aircraft are restored to operational status and a formal request for revival is submitted. Further action will depend on the airline’s compliance with regulatory requirements.
