For this purpose, Pakistan Airways, a subsidiary of the PIA, can also be activated, which will operate as a regional airline. According to the document, small charter aircraft with 20 or fewer seats will operate flights from all airports across the country and under regional connectivity. According to the document, out of 42 airports in Pakistan, 27 airports are active, including 12 international and 15 domestic. Out of 10 major cities of Pakistan, only five cities are connected by air. According to aviation experts, there is room for improvement in the basic features of civil aviation laws and policies in Pakistan so that regional aviation can also be promoted.
