KARACHI — Pakistan's fastest growing private carrier, airblue, suffered a major setback in its expansion plan when the Department of Civil Aviation (DCA), Government of Sharjah, has for the time being put on hold the landing rights to operate from Sharjah International Airport from August 14, 2008.
Aviation sources here while confirming the news revealed that the withdrawal of permission may cause the Pakistani private carrier huge financial losses, as it had launched an expensive marketing campaign and made over a thousand bookings on the Lahore-Sharjah and Peshawar-Sharjah sector.
