About Airblue
Airblue Limited (also known as airblue) is a low-cost carrier based in Pakistan. It's hub is located in Islamabad, Pakistan. Airblue operates scheduled flights linking Pakistani regional destinations with international destinations in Oman, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. The airline was established in 2003 and started operations on 18 June 2004 with three leased aircrafts serving Karachi–Lahore and Karachi–Islamabad with three daily return flights. The airline was inaugurated by the Ex-Prime Minister of Pakistan, Zafarullah Khan Jamali.
The airline started off strong, which allowed the airblue to compete directly with the flag carrier Pakistan International Airlines and the two other private carriers, flying more than 400,000 passengers in the first year with a load factor of over 90% (the load factor is the average amount of passenger seats filled per flight). This allowed the airline to expand into more domestic locations in Pakistan. On 14 August 2005, Airblue launched its first international flight from Karachi to Dubai, United Arab Emirates. On June 4, 2007, Airblue launched its inaugural flight UK flight to Manchester. In 2011 the airline launched service to Istanbul using Sabiha Gokcen Airport, with full traffic rights between Pakistan and Manchester.
In June 2012, Airblue finalised an agreement to acquire more planes to add to its existing and new international routes. It was also looking at various types of turboprop aircraft for new domestic routes but this plan was eventually dropped. The A340s joined the fleet in October 2012, enabling the airline to strengthen its Manchester route with nonstop flights as well as launch a second Lahore-UK destination, Birmingham, in September 2013. UK operations also ended with Birmingham being dropped after just three months' service and Manchester ending in January 2014.
