Most of the users opined that using the name Jinnah for a carrier is erroneous.

Stop dragging Great Jinnah into everything. Peeps boycott #FlyJinnah until the airline changes its name https://t.co/OqtePiqBhN

On the other hand, a few questioned whether Fly Jinnah took approval from the head of the state for using the name of the father of the nation.

Fly Jinnah for an airline’s name – seems to be in poor taste to run a commercial venture using the Quaid’s name – wonder if someone will file a petition against this and if that happens how the courts will respond

Hey @SECPakistan did Fly Jinnah get written approval for using the name of the past Pakistani head of state? Should a commercial venture be allowed to add the name Jinnah to their commercial venture and benefit off the goodwill? https://t.co/KVXeql3lxb pic.twitter.com/HmTZn3LCQc

Not only this, a lot of the netizens claimed it as ‘weird branding’.

Agreed , Fly Jinnah is an absolute lack of sense of Brand marketing. https://t.co/5ykAyFm2Fj

Meanwhile, a few users landed in support of the airline and claimed that if there can be a road, an airport, stadium and a newspaper with the same name then, why not an airline.

Notably, the flight will initially be based in Karachi to serve a range of domestic routes and then gradually will enhance its network.

The airline is to serve people with a low-cost business model.
