Rayyan Air Status

[F.K]

What's the latest on rayan air? Heard they changed bases to Jeddah with a different name . How many aircraft are they operating and what routes are they flying to ?

[Abbas Ali]

Seems AP-BIO and AP-BKS are the only active aircraft with Rayyan Air.

According to ch-aviation.com admin this company has been renamed AHS Air International probably due to US blacklisting for flying things to Syria, coincidentally a Greek cargo airline Aerospace One which was also blacklisted has shut down too.

[Abbas Ali]

^ But last month they advertised Islamabad-Kashgar flights under their name "Rayyan Air".

Rayyan Air - 747-200F - AP-BIO by abdus sattar00, on Flickr

AP-BIO seen active!

[CoyBoy]

Its now owned by AHS Air International according to ch-aviation, see topic on AHS Air in forum and fleet here http://www.ch-aviation.com/portal/aircr ... =1&cha=AHS

Surprised no one is commenting on the status of Rayyan, many people here on the forum with links at Airport CAA, Airlines etc to clarify whats happened yet no one giving a proper reply, I think F.K and ch-aviation are right, after being blacklisted by US authority this company has shut down and restarted its cargo wing under a new name.

Sorry to bring back this old thread.

I believe, that the Rayyan Air (which does a weekly flight between Islamabad and Kashgar, operated by PIA?) in now a travel agency or tour operator and no longer an airline with (AOC): http://rayyanair.com/

From what I know, two B747s now flies with AHS Air International (AP-BIO & AP-BKS), while the 3rd (AP-BKI) is on ground in Karachi or already scrapped there (any confirmation for the scrapping?)

Yes, PIA Airbus A310-300 aircraft perform once a week flight every Wednesday between Islamabad and Kashgar for Rayyan Air.

Islamabad to Kashgar flight PK-1855.
