The Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority (PCAA) has suspended the Air Operator Certificate (AOC) of Serene Air after the airline failed to maintain any serviceable aircraft in its fleet, officials confirmed on Friday.
In a public announcement, the aviation regulator said the suspension would remain in place until the airline makes aircraft available for operations. The case for reinstatement of the AOC will be reviewed once the carrier fulfils regulatory requirements.
Serene Air, which launched operations in 2017 as a private domestic airline, has been grounded for weeks as its entire fleet of five Boeing 737 aircraft remained unserviceable.

Serene Air did not issue an immediate statement regarding the development.
