Out of all the operational years of Serene Air, AP-BNC, AP-BND, and AP-BNB were seen flying for just maybe even less than half of the time. Less than half of the time! What a joke of an airline!

I guess these two wet leased aircrafts are just a show to the people that they are doing well, but instead things are worse.

Do you guys remember Shaheen Air’s 6 A319s dry-lease just before its bankruptcy? One of the A319s (which was supposed to be regsitered as AP-BNO) was not even delivered to the airline. So there is a pattern that can be seen here.

Serene maybe acquired the a330s for EU/UK operations and now the ban in the last 4 years has really affected them negatively. A big elephant in the room which they are forced to operate to ME.

I do not think that Serene Air was ever in a position to operate to EU or the UK. You can tell from airlines’ vision, marketing strategies and financial considerations. A330s were most probably available in the market for much cheaper rate given that those aircrafts are old now. Those A330s are also ex-Shaheen air.

All airlines in Pakistan lack proper expertise and experience to run an airline!
Serene/air blue could have easily captured the market currently operated by Fly jinnah+air sial

I believe it might have to do with bankruptcy proceedings/liquidation of assets. They may be trying to save on the cost they will incur when they do go bust. Just a theory though from what i saw online.

In all honesty they should wet lease a A330 from Oman Air or Malaysia Airlines.
