I think it's a very good initiative by CAA.

I have witnessed passengers of departing PIA flights made to wait for airline's wheelchair assistance due to shortage or absence of wheelchair attendants at Lahore Airport.

Now passengers have the option of getting this assistance from CAA.

This is a really good service, but why would they need your booking reference number (PNR) for your tickets exactly?
