ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s aviation sector is set for gaining 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 $30 million airlines project to move towards operational readiness.

According to the announcement made by SIFC on Monday, through targeted intervention, SIFC 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 airlines in 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.
