Differences over some important issues had developed between Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Aviation Shujaat Azeem and former DG CAA Air Marshal (Retd) Muhammad Yousaf, according to the news channel.

According to PTV News, within next ninety days advertisement will be given in newspapers for the appointment of a new DG CAA.

I suspect DG might have been right about something.

This is how PTV News reported dismissal of DG CAA.



The state-controlled news channel did not provide any information about the reason for this unceremonious removal.

Maybe privately-owned news media can contact Mr. Yousaf to find out details.

Have any reasons other than slow project progress and disagreements with Advisor Azeem been given?

From the few people I've spoken to, I've been told he was very good at the job.
