KARACHI: Airlift has officially inaugurated its
Karachi city-wide operations with the Honorable
Provincial Minister for Transport Syed Awais Qadir Shah. The Minister
has offered his full support to the venture and highlights the importance of
such private companies in Pakistan. He said, “With the transport sector in a
complete deplorable state and the unfavourable economic condition of the
country, companies like Airlift have aroused hope in the population of Pakistan
to travel safely whenever and wherever they want to.”
The Executive Director Airlift, Syed Mehr Haider, reinforced the continued commitment
to make the urban commute more systematic by decreasing traffic volume as well
as carbon emissions in our congested cities. He also
renewed the pledge to provide easy, comfortable and economical mobility to the
users from one point to another. At the event Airlift has announced its
commitment towards making transit accessible, especially for those who are differently
abled. The company believes it is their duty as citizens of Pakistan to ensure
that differently abled people get equal opportunities to avail these services.
In light of International Day of Differently abled Persons 2019 – celebrated
on the 3rd of December, Airlift invited the inspiring Family Educational Services Foundation (FESF) to share with them
their vision. The organization was moved by the performance given by shining
stars who performed the National Anthem in sign language. Therefore, Airlift
invites general public to take a pledge with them, to make Pakistan accessible
for all.
The event has put an end to the rumors that surfaced a few weeks ago regarding
Sindh government’s reservations towards ride hailing companies. This event
marks the start of a new era in Karachi, where Airlift plans to revolutionise
mass transit with the support of Sindh Government.
