History
Founded in 1975 by Mr. M.I Akbar, the Akbar Group was always closely associated with aviation in Pakistan.
The Group has more than three decades of experiences in this sector and has the distinction of exclusively representing 12 airlines in the country. Princely Travels is the flagship company of the Group, which was established in 1976.
The company has served more than 20 million passengers through a network of over 25 offices all across Pakistan. With the establishment of Princely Jets and the start of operations in November 2005, the group became a true aviation pioneer in the country.
The growing demand for luxury air travel in Pakistan has been a direct result of the rising numbers of high net worth individuals and corporate entities. The organization has a fixed base of operations in Karachi.
Princely Jets started off as a domestic operator and gradually expanded the superlative services to cover the Middle Eastern region.
With the rich and varied experiences gained over the long years, the organization now also provides sales and purchase expertise, aircraft management, maintenance and consultancy.

Over the years these personnel have acquired a mastery over the equipment and an intimate familiarity with the operating environment. Each pilot is highly capable of flying our corporate aircraft to any international destination.
All flight crew undergoes mandatory training twice a year. Each flight attendant also attends training on a regular basis to ensure on-board safety and service standards at par with the best in class.
A positive work environment at Princely Jets results in high levels of staff motivation and great experiences all around. Many of our pilots and engineers have gained several years of their aviation experience with the country’s armed forces.
