In a major development regarding the resumption of direct flights from Pakistan to the United States, a team from the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is set to arrive in Pakistan tomorrow (Saturday).
This is the first such visit in several years.
According to officials, on the directives of the Director General of the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), all relevant departments have completed preparations for the audit.
During the visit, the FAA team will conduct a detailed audit of the Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority, focusing on licensing examinations, flight standards, airworthiness, and state safety oversight.
The development has rekindled hopes for the restoration of direct flights from Pakistan, including those operated by the national flag carrier, Pakistan International Airlines (PIA), to the United States.
