"We have announced that we are looking for people who can replace the existing logo and branding with a new branding," Mihad said.
Mihad said the arrival of the remaining ATR aircraft was delayed from the earlier scheduled date. He added that the aircraft is expected to arrive next month.
"The delay is due to supply issues. If it's delayed for long, they will send an aircraft on a temporary basis," Mihad said.
