Pak working to operationalise closed airports, revive aviation assets: Rprt

Pakistan has started working on a comprehensive plan for the operationalisation of long-closed airports on a commercial basis to boost regional connectivity and revive civil aviation assets worth billions of dollars that are lying idle in the country, a media report said on Sunday.

As part of the project, regional connectivity will be promoted, closed airports will be made operational, and Pakistan Airways, a subsidiary of the Pakistan International Airlines, will be reactivated, The Express Tribune reported, quoting official documents available with the paper.

A framework for regional connectivity was finalised at the domestic level, enabling the national airline to enter into a joint venture with any foreign company.
