Previous governments and these government babus were involved in this breach. At-least private entities have check and balances in place and some merit unlike these jahils sitting in government offices.

You are aiming very high by placing the doctrine that everything works well in private hands.

The same people with same mentality and government has a terrible record of prosecuting private entities and empires already.

Well your credibility is now ZERO. Deal with it.

omg wonder what will Ertugul think about it

 

[Cliftonite]

As long as immigration and customs stays under CAA, this is a good step. Way to many ghost employees in goverment sectors with zero efficiency

All you gotta do is take case study of other entities in the world and look for the data objectively. If private entities are successful in delivering better services and customer experience or governments. These excuses are there just to save the neck of few who are nothing but leaches.

I agree with the above, it would be a great step, it would allow more investment into the Airport and provide better facilities to the passengers.

Yes sure why not let PMLN and PPP come forward and eat away the skeleton that has been left by their decades of corruption. They already skinned th economy alive and ate away the flesh like rabid dogs let them make a stew of economy so they and their children can live like Gods in foreign countries. A standard of living that is even envy of all the rich goras in those ferangi countries. I will never forget words of a Brit who told me Pakistanis live like Gods in posh areas of London where do you people get so much money despite having a bad economy. I held my head down with shame and couldnt muster even a lame answer to that question.

PTI plans to outsource airport management system

ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government is working on a plan to outsource the airport management system of Pakistan, in order to improve international terminals that gave a deserted look due to poor facilities.

Prime Minister Imran Khan had sought a briefing from the Aviation Division on outsourcing the management system, sources told The Express Tribune.

Officials said that the existing plight of the airports, especially international terminals, was critical, as it gave a deserted look compared to other international cities. Now, the PTI government wants to work on a comprehensive policy to improve international airports involving all stakeholders and technical experts.

The initiative aims to bring improvement in facilities at international terminals. There is a need to improve these facilities in order to promote tourism, investment and a better image of the country, officials said.

The plan of outsourcing the airport management system of Pakistan is a part of the PTI government’s agenda to bring innovation and improvement at international airports, said an official at the Aviation Division.

The separation of regulatory structure for the aviation industry and management and land functions are under active consideration under the new aviation policy and a report will be submitted to the prime minister within a month. Aviation Division spokesperson Abdul Sattar Khokhar said the plan is being discussed to outsource system; however, operational and regulatory control would be kept with the government. He said that maintenance of building, parking and passenger services would be outsourced to qualified firms.

The Aviation Division shall complete codal formalities to separate regulatory functions of the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) from estate and airport management and furnish a compliance report to the prime minister within one month. The government has also drafted a new aviation policy, as it feels the previous aviation policy, framed by the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) government, had not brought any improvement in the sector. The new policy has been drafted following a request from the national flag carrier.

CAA charges on domestic flights may be removed

The national aviation policy was earlier launched in 2015 with a view to bring healthy changes in the aviation sector of Pakistan. However, due to some reasons, the policy could not trigger desired positive changes.

The aviation sector has faced different problems, which have hindered development. A presentation was given to the prime minister on March 14, 2019. The national flag carrier – PIA – pointed out different issues like extremely high cost of doing business, high paid capital and requirements, unfavourable land lease and rent policy, and high charges levied by CAA and the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR), which together contributed towards downfall of the sector.

PIA had informed the prime minister on January 1, 2019 that the national aviation policy should be reviewed critically and comprehensively to support the aviation and airline industry of Pakistan. High rate of charges levied by CAA on domestic airlines for the use of facilities needs review and rationalisation for the comfort of doing business in the aviation industry.

It urged reviewing the open skies clauses and associated air services agreements under the national aviation policy, including routes, slots and capacity accorded to foreign airlines, which have been discriminatory and disadvantageous to the national flag carrier.

The draft policy, aimed at ensuring growth of Pakistan’s aviation business, creates new business opportunities with a widening base, which in turn would increase revenue and attract direct and indirect investments, along with creating job opportunities. Another important aspect is to safeguard the interest of national and other domestic carriers against unhealthy competition, while at the same time, provide incentives to international carriers for making Pakistan a dream destination.

Govt decides to outsource country's three major airports

The Federal Cabinet on Wednesday approved a number of agenda items, enhancing cooperation and agreements between Pakistan and other countries in the field of aviation, defence, interior, health, law and order and others.

The cabinet also approved a policy to outsource the management of the country's three major airports along the lines of a public-private partnership.

"This is the policy that was approved by the Civil Aviation Authority in 2015," Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting Marriyum Aurangzeb said while briefing the media following the cabinet meeting.

"By including private companies in the public sector, the management of the airports will be outsourced," she said, adding that Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad's international airports would be the first to be tackled by this change in policy.

The state minister explained that the policy made clear that the roles of operation, management and maintenance will be separate from the regulator.

"Airports across the world are regulated by organisations such as the Civil Aviation Authority and managed by private companies," Aurangzeb maintained.

"There are different operations of public-private partnerships. Under these models, not only have management and maintenance been outsourced to private companies, but also if a private company wants to build an airport they will be facilitated," she said.

"Across the world, the regulator and the service provider are not the same," the minister said.

Aurungzeb explained that because the regulator and service provider have remained the same in Pakistan, any incident that took place ─ for example if drugs were found on a flight ─ it had to be investigated by the service provider.

She added that a plan in this regard is yet to be made and signed with the private sector. "Once the plan is signed, an announcement will be made."

Moratorium on new gas connections lifted
The federal cabinet lifted moratorium on new gas connections, following a green signal from the Cabinet Committee on Energy.

The cabinet also approved execution of gas development schemes, initiated during the present government.

Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, while discussing problems related to housing sector, said in view of growing urbanisation, the government would facilitate the low income groups in housing sector.

He said urbanisation was increasing at a rapid pace due to development activities and there was a need to cater to the demands in housing sector.

Imran Khan Called a Meeting to Discuss the Offer Made by the Qatari Emir to Help the Government in the Upgrading of Five Major Airports in Pakistan


Hussain Saeed July 16, 2019


The Qatari Emir also proposed to outsource the up-gradation process of airports. A government official has said that a lot of meetings have been taking place regarding the conversion of airports and the proposal offered by the Emir of Qatar has also come under discussion. The government believes that to facilitate investors and tourists the up-gradation of airports is necessary, however, the Civil Aviation Authority had shown reservations with regard to outsourcing of the services of Pakistan’s airports.

The official also said that PM Khan believes that there is an immense potential of tourism in Pakistan and if the government succeeds in utilizing this potential it can attract a considerable foreign exchange in the country. For this purpose, the PM has summoned a meeting for consultation which is expected to reach a final decision for converting airports with modern facilities. The government has put a lot of focus on the tourism sector since the beginning. In this regard, the PM previously launched an online visa system for foreign visitors from all across the world to boost tourism in the country and to attract foreign investments. The government claimed that this online visa facility will make Pakistan more accessible for investors across the globe.

Few days back had to go to the largest Hospital at Peshawar LRH and the cleaning services were outsourced at LRH and to my surprise the hospital block was as clean as you can see in any big private hospital of good repute.
So if proper Outsourcing is done to a very reputable company the airports of the country we will give a very good picture.
