Introduce Islamic Culture onboard their flights? What's that supposed to mean? Segregated seating for unmarried men and women or stictly a families only airline?

UKIA’s Scheduled Services Launched

UK International Airlines (UKIA) started its Scheduled Passenger Flights from East Midlands Airport (EMA) on Friday 19th October 2007 with its B767 aircraft. The first flight carried 171 passengers, a seat factor of over 86 percent. The flight was warmly welcomed at Sharjah and Islamabad airports.

On-ground and in-flight surveys on the occasion revealed an excited and satisfied customer base. Travellers on this flight were more than happy with the customer care provided by the ground and cabin staff, as indeed with the quality and quantity of the meals served on-board.

East Midlands Airport had arranged for entertainment and snacks in the concourse hall at the airport. A large Media corps was seen doing its bit to cover the occasion ‘live’ for its audience. Parking Fee at the airport had been waived by the authorities for those coming to board the flight, and for those dropping off the passengers. In short, it was a festive atmosphere worthy of UKIA’s launch flight.

UKIA Management wishes to express its profound gratitude to all who have in any way been involved in contributing towards the realization of this dream. It also wishes to thank the British-Asian community for its unstinting support. The Management, in return, conveys its resolve to build momentum and sustain standards. After all, UKIA is destined to become a household name in the next few weeks and months.
