Pakistan Civil Aviation strengthens COVID-19 prevention measures
In response to the escalating global COVID-19 situation, the
Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority (PCAA) is reinforcing its commitment to
public health by implementing stringent preventive measures across major
airports nationwide.
The PCAA's decision to reinstate COVID-19 preventive measures is a
proactive response to the surge in case numbers globally. In collaboration with
the National Command and Operations Centre (NCOC), the authority has directed
all major airports in the country to screen 2% of passengers arriving on
international flights. This strategic move is designed to identify and contain
potential COVID-19 cases entering Pakistan through air travel.

Airport administrations have been instructed to conduct regular
fumigation and disinfection of passenger lounge areas, creating a protective
shield against virus transmission risks. Additionally, they are mandated to
provide full cooperation to Border Health Services staff, assisting in the
implementation of safety guidelines and ensuring that all necessary protocols
are diligently followed.
The PCAA's renewed efforts align with Pakistan’s ongoing national
COVID-19 prevention strategy and contribute to the global fight against the
pandemic. By intensifying screening measures and reinforcing sanitation
protocols, the aviation authority aims to detect and manage potential outbreaks
at an early stage, prioritizing the health and safety of the public.

underscored its commitment to maintaining passenger convenience at the
forefront of its operational priorities. Striking a delicate balance between
preventing the spread of the virus and ensuring a seamless travel experience,
the authority is dedicated to upholding the highest standards during these
challenging times.
Travelers are strongly advised to remain vigilant and adhere
closely to official health advisories when utilizing airport facilities. The
cooperation of both airport staff and passengers is paramount in controlling
the spread of the virus through Pakistan’s air travel gateways.
