"We have always taken a keen interest in this region and its future economic welfare, particularly the opportunities posed in the aviation sector." said Tariq Khan.

Senior officials from the company have been evaluating prospective aircraft at the recent Dubai Airshow where Eastern SkyJets officially launched its presence into the region. The company also plans to introduce additional aircraft to supplement its DC-9 for regional passenger operations.
