Airblue Limited, a private airline in Pakistan, was started in 2003 by Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, a Pakistani politician and Tariq Chaudhry, an IT professional. The operations only began in 2004 but quickly garnered popularity within its first year due to its affordable fares and security. Due to this, it was able to directly compete with Pakistan’s flag carrier Pakistan International Airlines (PIA).
Airblue initially serviced the domestic routes of Pakistan—Karachi to Lahore, Karachi to Islamabad and its return flight—but quickly added more routes to Peshawar and Multan taking the number of domestic cities it services to five in total. Their quick fame also gave them a boost to add international flights to and from Pakistan. In 2005, they started their first international route from Karachi to Dubai and from then has been adding flights to Sharjah, Abu Dhabi, KSA airports of Jeddah and Riyadh as well. The airline currently has a fleet of 10 aircraft—Airbus A320 and A321.
Airblue is known for its on-time departures, commendable service and affordable fares. This quickly made it one of the favourite private airlines and the second-largest airline in Pakistan. It is also known for introducing modern technology e-ticketing, self-check-in kiosks in Pakistan.

A321 neo engine offers much better fuel efficiency when compared with existing peers and will minimize Airblue’s operational cost apart from good economical, environmental performance. The wide cabin adds more flexibility in floor space and increases the seating capacity
