SAI largest contributor to PCAA dues

KARACHI: Shaheen Air International (SAI) is the largest contributor to Civil Aviation Authority (PCAA) dues among all private Pakistani airlines, according to a statement issued by SAI Director Marketing Zohaib Hassan.

The statement further reflected upon some delay in payments which were ought to be made to PCAA by SAI, while talks have been underway to discuss the new repayment schedule.

Commenting on CAA’s decision to shut down NL221, Hassan said, “This is unwelcomed by the management of SAI, as this will only lead to distress for our passengers.” He further added that the immediate suspension also did not abide by the PCAA laws.

“The temporary delay in payments is limited to a few weeks, and SAI is liable to settle all impending and lawful PCAA dues to its earliest,” the statement added.
