KARACHI:


Pakistan’s Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has once again defended the new aviation policy 2015, saying it was aimed at creating jobs, boosting exports and generating revenue for the government.


The CAA will earn revenue either in shape of the annual fee structure or through appropriate quality partnership models, the authority said in a statement. It added that all relevant stakeholders were taken onboard when aviation policy was being formulated.


The policy envisages public-private partnership models to improve quality of service and airport’s terminal side may be outsourced to world class operators, it said. CAA stressed that airports in Pakistan would always be government owned and will continue to remain property of the state, except those which are privately developed.

Pakistan is alive | 8 years ago | Reply CAA has an impeccable track record of turning gold into clay. They will not let go off their great traditions.
ishrat salim | 8 years ago | Reply The recent introduction of taxes on domestic & international travels will discourage travelling, CAA bosses do not understand. Such shortsightedness will kill this industry also.
