Pakistani experts to inform EASA of steps taken to lift PIA ban

The Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has announced that it will be adding a rest requirement of 16 hours for its long range flights. This change comes after the airline was required to 24 hours, including one local night. A team of Pakistani aviation officials will be sent to Brussels next month to inform the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) about the steps taken to restore PIA’s flight operations. The director general of the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has said that, after an online audit in October this year by the International Aviation Safety Assessment (IASA), a physical one would also take place by EASA.

Quick Summary

The new airport charges are a result of the increase in air travel and the need for airports to generate more revenue. The charges are also a way for airports to discourage drivers from drop-offs, which can cause congestion. The charges vary by airport, but they are typically around $5-$10 for a 15-minute drop-off.
