In the case of Pakistan International Airlines’s (PIA) ban on its flights to European countries for four years, it has been revealed that the national airlines continues to fail to demonstrate effective compliance with the stringent safety standards mandated by the European Union (EU). The spokesperson of the European Commission has released detailed reasons for maintaining the ban. It cites PIA’s ongoing inability to demonstrate effective compliance with all safety protocols. This includes essential measures concerning operational safety, maintenance practices, and regulatory oversight. “All Pakistani airlines, including PIA, are required to implement corrective measures to address deficiencies in their safety management systems,” stated the spokesperson. He further said the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) of Pakistan must also utilise the necessary capabilities for effective monitoring. Moreover, no Pakistani airline, including PIA, currently features on the EU’s air safety list, indicating significant concerns over regulatory compliance.

Pakistan's Airport Authority is facing millions in losses due to the inactivity of eight airports, including Bannu, Dalbadin, and Parachinar. Despite these airports being non-functional, staff remains on-site, incurring monthly salaries and operational costs. In response to financial challenges, Pakistan has opened three major airports for outsourcing, with a Turkish company's bid for Islamabad International Airport recently receiving technical approval. The Pakistan Airports Authority is committed to maintaining flight safety and ensuring the availability of air services across the nation, stating that these airports could still serve for foreign dignitaries or diverted flights. #Pakistan #Aviation #AirportAuthority

Risk assessment before loading #aircargo (Pre-Loading Advance Cargo Information) is quite on the radar these days. 300 air cargo experts and regulators from implementing countries are meeting today and tomorrow in Abu Dhabi, in an event organised by IATA under the patronage of the UAE Customs & Port Security, to discuss the lessons learned from the US and EU implementation and the incoming deployments in UAE, Canada and the UK.

🚀Transportation of oversized cargo for "Delta" company from Tbilisi to Riyadh by air transport. ♦️Task - the buyer from Saudi Arabia had to transport the cargo (armored equipment for medical evacuation - 12 "Didgori" vehicles) from Tbilisi to Riyadh, so that these vehicles could pass in the parade dedicated to the king of the same country. 🔹We used two large Boeing 747 aircraft. Iran forbade the cargo from passing through its airspace due to political tensions between Saudi Arabia and Iran at the time, necessitating a flight through Turkey. This resulted in an extension of the flight duration and an increase in the trip cost, which was pre-negotiated in the contract. However, in accordance with our contract, our company did not alter the customer's flight fee.  💥 Our company does not change the final price due to objective circumstances. #LogisticsServices #cargomarket #freightforwarding #import #export #CargoShipping #cargoshipment #globallogistics #supplychain #transportation #freightservices #logisticssolutions #B2BLogistics #LogisticsExperts #tbilisi #Georgia #armenia #azerbaijan #ლოგისტიკა #ტვირთისგადაზიდვა #სასწრაფო #სწრაფად #byair #airplane #flight #cargofreight #supplychainchallenges #ტვირთის #გადაზიდვა #მსოფლიო #Global
