Any idea if this will be a passenger airline or a freight service provider?

The rumour mill has that they are bringing in Dash-8; so, I guess passenger charter.

Named after a mountain might not be the best name for a business that avoids mountains.

Looks like another flop airline.

When airlines like Shaheen and Air blue who have been around for 20 years are having a hard time surviving I hardly think K2 will.

Pakistani airlines need to think outside the box and stop concentrating on the over served routes of the Middle East.

Pakistan needs a strong domestic network, an airline needs to establish a good domestic feed to build a successful international network

Seychelles would be even better for international.

K2 Airways opts for ENVISION

Image

Pakistani start-up, K2 Airways, has signed an agreement for our MRO and Flight Operations software, ENVISION.

K2 Airways will begin scheduled passenger flights later this year from its base at Karachi’s Jinnah International Airport. It will serve numerous destinations across Pakistan including Islamabad, Skardu and Chitral. The airline also plans to fly to international destinations in the near future.

We will begin implementing six of ENVISION’s modules immediately so that the system is fully live in time for the airline’s maiden flight. Modules selected include Fleet Management, Line Maintenance, Flight Operations and Human Resources.

Tariq Raja, Chief Executive Officer at K2 Airways said:

“We are looking to be as streamlined as possible when it comes to our operations, so we wanted to adopt one all-inclusive solution rather than several. This being said, there will always be the need to integrate with some form of external system, and ENVISION’s modern architecture makes this simple and painless, allowing our team to focus on other things.”

Julian Stourton, CEO at Rusada said:

“We are seeing more and more the desire to move away from multiple disconnected systems and adopt a one-stop-solution. This is especially true with up-and-coming organisations such as K2 Airways. I am excited that we now get to play a significant part in their upcoming launch and future growth.”
