KARACHI, Aug 05 (APP):Shaheen International Airline (SAI) will despatch it flight Sunday night to Guanzhou (China) so as to carry
back Pakistani passengers stranded there for past few days.
A spokesman of Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) in an announcement
here Sunday said the objection raised by the authority with regard to
fitness of the SAI plane scheduled to carry back home the stranded
passengers has been addressed.
The required hose pipes have arrived from abroad and are
presently in process of customs clearance and consequently will be
fitted in due course enabling the carrier to fly without any sort of
risk, elaborated the spokesman.
It was reminded that SAI failing to clear dues amounting Rs.1.5
billion to CAA was prohibited to utilize facilities and services
offered by the authority, however, on purely humanitarian grounds it
was allowed to carry back the Pakistanis who had booked their seats,
prior to the imposed ban, with SAI from Guanzhou to different parts of
the country.
