Pakistani VJ and actress Anoushey Ashraf has suggested other names for Pakistan’s upcoming private low-cost airline, Fly Jinnah, seemingly to mention the Founder of Pakistan Muhammad Ali Jinnah’s name in a suitable style.
She wrote on Twitter, “Great initiative, but Fly Jinnah? Ummm how about Jinnah airways, Jinnah air, Quaid air? Quaid airlines? Just some thoughts to chew on.”

In September last year, a debate on using the name of the country’s founder for commercial activity started which led to a survey conducted by Khaleej Times.
In a survey conducted by Khaleej Times on its social media platforms, most participants say ‘yes’ to the move but suggest that the government should consider ‘Jinnah Airline’ for the new carrier instead of ‘Fly Jinnah’.
About 950 survey participants on Khaleej Times twitter and LinkedIn platforms said there is no harm in using the name of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, father of the nation, for commercial activity.

‘Fly Jinnah’ will be the latest entrant in Pakistan’s growing aviation market after SereneAir and Air Sial. Jet Green Airline and Q-Airlines are also in the process to secure an AOC certificate from the Civil Aviation Authority of Pakistan.
