PIA Gets ANO 145 & 147 Approvals from Pakistan CAA

Post by Abbas Ali »

Karachi - August 29, 2014 - Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has successfully acquired approvals under ANO 145 and ANO 147 from Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) thus becoming the only Pakistani airline in South Asia to achieve both high aviation standards.

In a simple ceremony Director General Civil Aviation Authority Air Marshal (Retd.) Muhammad Yousaf gave ANO certificates to Managing Director PIA Shahnawaz Rehman whereas Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Aviation Shujaat Azeem was also present on the occasion.

The program was initiated by South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) countries under the South Asia Regional Initiative (SARI) program in the year 2008. The primary objective of the program was to harmonize aviation regulations in all member states and align the same with European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) standards. CAA teams performed extensive audits of PIA Engineering and Maintenance facilities and PIA Training Centre (PTC) before issuance of Air Navigation Orders ANO 145 and ANO 147.

This milestone is a prelude towards acquisition of international approvals such as EASA 145 and 147 and other maintenance organization approvals from other countries too. This will not only provide an unsurpassed opportunity to the national flag carrier in representing the name of Pakistan into international skies, but will also contribute to foreign exchange reserves.
