CIVIL AVIATION AUTHORITY

Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority was established O fin December 1982 through an Ordinance to provide for

the promotion and regulation of Civil activities, and, to develop an infrastructure for safe, efficient, adequate, p , , q ,economical and properly coordinated civil air transport services of Pakistan.

CAA Pakistan operates and manages 42 airports, which includes 08 international and 34 domestic and feeder service airports. Presently, some airports are non-operative and therefore, have been closed.

The current National Aviation Policy envisages Open Sikes Policy by having agreement on the principle of reciprocity and bilateralism with maximum number of countriesmaximum number of countries.

For cargo operations, Pakistan allows open skies policy for foreign airlines while simultaneously trying to convert the unilateral policyforeign airlines, while simultaneously trying to convert the unilateral policy into bilateral open skies with major destinations of the world. Private sectors are encouraged to establish all cargo airlines including charter in future.utu e

Jinnah Terminal Complex at JIAP Karachi inaugurated in 1992 is an example that shows CAA commitment towards its goals to provide the most modern airport facilities in Pakistan.

A new passenger terminal complex at Allama Iqbal International Airport (AIIAP) at Lahore is completed in the year 2002

N I l b d I t ti l Ai t ( d B i Bh ttNew Islamabad International Airport (renamed as Benazir Bhutto International Airport Islamabad.) is in the construction phase.

CAA has also Improved its navigational facilities by successfully p g y yimplementing aeronautical communication & control (AC&C) project. Under AC&C project CAA has installed state of the art Thompson CSF radar and extended range VHF communication network. The existing Radar facilities are further being upgraded with day light display systems and new versionfurther being upgraded with day light display systems and new version computers, to enable integration of ADS/CPDLC work stations. With this up gradation facility the entire air space of Pakistan will be covered under Radar surveillance.

All aircraft entering Pakistan airspace will be under positive radar cover and radio range through out its flight over Pakistan.

• RADAR AND NAV AIDS FACILITIES• RADAR AND NAV-AIDS FACILITIESThe airport has air traffic control surveillance and navigational guidance system which include primary and secondary radar integrated with remote radar stations to ensure safe and efficient flight operation within territorial significant position of air space and air space falling over the high seas. Details are as under;-;

• Traffic Flow / Strategic LocationJIAP enjoys strategically advantageous position for air traffic flows

operating south of Himalaya and originating from Far-East for Europe and vice verse for examples. ATS routes linking Hong Kong and Paris branch off over Pakistan airspace. Aircraft originating from Hong Kong and making technical landing at JIAP carryingfrom Hong Kong and making technical landing at JIAP carrying optimum payload has option on departure for Paris to proceed via Iran and Turkey or elect to fly across Afghanistan and Turkmenistan for Europe. JIAP makes a convenient intermediate point for cargo hubs such as Hong King, Taipei in the East and Paris, Brussels in the West.

Jinnah International Airportp

• General

Karachi International Airport was initially built in 1924. It was renamed Quaid-e-Azam International Airport in 1992 and now is Jinnah International Airport. It is the oldest and busiest airport in Pakistan, which spread over 3465 acres of land. The airport is designed to handle annually p p g yeight million passengers, 140,000 tons of cargo and around 18 million meeters and greaters.

67 percent of Pakistan’s Revenue is generated from Karachi alone. p gJIAP is located in the middle to sea ports namely Kemari Port and Port Qasim JIAP serves as an international gateway.

Airport DescriptionThe airport consists of number of terminals which are being used as under:-

T i l 1 i) HQCAATerminal-1 i) HQCAAii) State/ VIP Lounges/Chartered Flights

iii) Air Freight Unit (Import), PIA

Terminal-2 i) Air Freight Unit Import, Foreign Carriers

Terminal-3 i) Hajj Operationii) Air Freight Unit, Immediate Clearance Group (ICG)

Export Cargo Terminal i) Air Freight Unit (Export)ii) Allied Infrastr ct reii) Allied Infrastructure

Jinnah Terminal Complex Main Passengers Terminal

Ji h T i l i d i d t l l t b FAG F kf tJinnah Terminal is designed on a two level concept by FAG Frankfurt, Germany and Constructed by Sogea, France under Project Management of Bechtel International Inc. USA. It has the maximum handling capacity of 8.2 million pax per annum. At present there are twelve passenger loading bridges connected through two satellites that can be expended up to 32bridges connected through two satellites that can be expended up to 32 gates through 4 satellites.

As per study carried out by FAG Frankfurt, Germany regarding Pakistan Airports, for each passenger there are 4 visitors to receive / see him off.

The airport also houses wide bodied aircraft maintenance hangers, and residential area Regional Met Centre Police Station PTCL exchangesresidential area, Regional Met Centre. Police Station, PTCL exchanges recreational facilities, large car parking area, medical centre, restaurants etc.

The facilities on the airside include:

a) Two parallel runways and associated taxiways equipped with Instrument Landing System (ILS), Aeronautical Group Lights (AGL) and Precision Approach Path Indicator (PAPI) capable to handle aircraft upto Boeing-747-400 and equivalent

b) Adequate parking space to accommodate 42 aircrafts of various types with 21 parking stands having hydrant refueling facility.

c) Aircraft Power Supply System (APSS) 400 Hzc) Aircraft Power Supply System (APSS) 400 Hz

d) Aircraft Nose-in-Guidance System (AGNIS)

e) Twelve Passengers Loading Bridges (PLBs)

f) Rescue and Fire Fighting Services to meet ICAO requirements

g) Integrated and Automated co-mounted primary and secondary surveillance radars alongwith remote controlled air ground VHF conversing almost entireradars alongwith remote controlled air ground VHF conversing almost entire airspace of Pakistan for provision of enroute and terminal approach Air Traffic Control Service
