[edit] History
UK International Airlines Limited was formed on 13 September 2005 [3] to operate services between United Kingdom and Pakistan. The airline was awarded its worldwide scheduled Air Operator’s Certificate (AOC) [4] and Type A Operating Licence (OL) [1] on 5 September 2007 from the UK CAA.
The airline commenced services on 19 October 2007 with a flight from East Midlands Airport to Sharjah and Islamabad. [5]
[edit] Suspension of services
UKIA have suspended all operations since December 23, 2007. The company cites ongoing concerns about the fleet and problems with security at Islamabad International Airport. The operating licence is suspended until 7 July 2008.[6] The UK International Airlines website now redirects to a holding page, and all traces of the airline, seem to have disappeared.
