RAWALPINDI: The government has started work to outsource the management and operations of airports in Karachi, Islamabad, and Lahore.
This was stated by Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) officials during a briefing to the National Assembly Standing Committee on Aviation.
The meeting, presided over by Syed Mobeen Ahmed, was told that the decision had been taken to boost foreign exchange reserves.
The committee made it clear and was informed accordingly that PCCA was not selling the airports as only the operation and management controls were being outsourced.
PCAA Director General Khaqan Murtaza apprised the committee that after the amendment in rule 68 of the CAA Act, the authority to issue no-objection certificates was taken away from the PCAA and given to the building control authorities, which had completely failed in doing the job.
The committee recommended an amendment to the said rule, asking for action against illegal constructions.
