For the first time in Pakistan, the Aircraft Owners and Operators Association (AOOA) has been established with the goal of improving and reforming the aviation industry to encourage tourism in the country.
The AOOA founder, Imran Aslam Khan while talking to media said that the association would work with the relevant authorities for developing the aviation sector and promoting tourism through the aviation industry.
He further stated that the AOOA will recommend to the government modifications and improvements in the National Aviation Policy and Legislation to boost the aviation business and tourism in Pakistan’s best interests.
He said he is delighted to announce the formation of the association as it will develop and revolutionize the aviation industry in Pakistan. More than 80pc aircraft owners and air operators in Pakistan are already members of the association, he said.
Airlines will also be offered to join the association as the aviation industry is not that big in the country. A single platform for the development of this sector will have a manifold impact.
Capt Aijaz Ahmed from Lahore was elected as the resident and Capt Asim Nawaz (LLM) from Karachi has been elected as general secretary of AOOA.
