Pakistan Airline Pilots' Association (Palpa) congratulates Pakistan Air Traffic Controller Guild (PATCG) on its affiliation with the International Federation of Air Traffic Controller Association (IFATCA). "Flight safety can only be ensured when pilots and air traffic controllers perform their responsibilities with heart and soul as hundreds of lives dependent on them while flying," said Palpa President Suhail Baluch.
"Pilots have always been co-operative with the air traffic controllers and will continue to do the same. We both are the main components of flight safety," he added. He expressed hope that the recent affiliation would help enhance the aviation activities in Pakistan.
There are almost 300 highly-qualified air traffic controllers in Pakistan working at different airports in various cities. These controllers are certified by International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO). They are being trained with the upgraded technology and Aviation Safety standards. The training includes control tower, post control, area control, approach non-radar and area non-radar.-PR
