CAA thinking of revising age limit for vacancies of directors, flight inspectors
The Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) Board of Directors convened for its first meeting to discuss several key issues, including the age limit for recruiting directors and flight inspectors.
Chaired by Secretary Aviation Ahsan Mangi, the board proposed extending the age limit for these positions on a contract basis from 60 to 65 years. This change is intended to facilitate the continued service of retired CAA directors.

The meeting also covered the potential resumption of flights between Pakistan and European countries. A session with European Union officials is set for September 18 and 19 to address this issue. Additionally, discussions regarding the resumption of flights to the UK are scheduled for January next year, following talks with British authorities.
