Canadian airline Zara Airways has unveiled plans to launch direct flights from Toronto to three major cities in Pakistan in August, marking a significant development in air travel between the two nations.
The airline will operate three weekly flights from Toronto to Karachi, Islamabad, and Lahore. It plans to initiate operations in August, utilising two Boeing 777 aircraft initially, with the potential to expand the fleet based on demand. The partnership with Shaheen Airport for ground services, cabin crew, and other operational support will further strengthen Zara Airways’ capabilities.
To ensure a smooth commencement of operations, Zara Airways is currently in the process of securing a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the Canadian government.
Zara Airways has appointed Ejaz Haroon, former managing director of Pakistan International Airlines (PIA), as an adviser.
The establishment of Zara Airways is poised to invigorate Pakistan’s aviation industry, which has recently witnessed positive developments. The approval of Wizz Air Abu Dhabi and SunExpress by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) will introduce increased competition, ultimately leading to lower fares and improved services for passengers. Additionally, Ethiopian Airlines has announced the resumption of direct flights between Karachi and Addis Ababa, a route that had been suspended since 2004.

That’s great, I will fly with Zara airlines from Lahore to Toronto insha allah.
Awesome! Looking forward to travel with Zara Airways 😊
Good News. I am planning to fly in July 2023 from Zara Airways from Isb to Toronto, Canada 🇨🇦. When can I get the ticket earliest and Where is your office in Islamabad/Rwp.
IS there an interlink with Aircanada or Westjet for passengers from the west
I think the PIAs’ mounted capacity is sufficient for this route and hardly managing there flight loads. Ultimately the increased capacity will be a price war for the survival of which will definitely make the losses to both airlines. Initially people will try a new product but let’s see the trend after few months of the operation.
I’m planning to fly Toronto with zara airways very soon.
Great news indeed.
We can atleast charge our cell phones in it.
good news, I hope the service is better than PIA.
I’m looking forward to flying with Zara from Toronto to Lahore inshallah.
great effort but 1 question is that why not trying to start flight for newyork..there is no direct flight for usa a nd a lot travellrs are willing direct flight for jfk airport from pakistan
alhumdulilah , finally their will be competition in service and air fare.
we welcome zara airlines.
Nice to hear that a privately owned Airline is starting business on a profitable 📈 route. which will be beneficial for the community living in Toronto as well as the new airline if the fares are economical. It’s always a challenge to get the direct flight to Karachi when needed.
hello, my name is sajid Hussain,, I want to ask you that any company which give us training as a flight attendant or cabin crew..??
Route wise it is really a good addition in Airlines industry. So far only PIA is operating direct flights from Pakistan to Canada. Zara Airways management officials are well known, experienced & professional Aviators. Best wishes and good luck for Airlines advisor Mr. Ejaz Ex-MD PIA, Mr. Naveed Solangi CEO and Ops Director Mr. Shaheed Akhter
