KARACHI • Pakistan's Civil Aviation Authority has acquired two new calibration aircraft that will arrive in the country at the end of current month, official sources said here yesterday.

Official sources said that these aircraft have a cost $15.2 million, around 90 per cent of which has been paid to the manufacturing company as decided in the contract.

The aviation regulatory authority had signed purchasing contracts with US Company Hawker Beech Corporation in September last year after conducting various studies of aircraft model that were suited for Pakistan's airports.

The primary purpose of purchasing these is to fulfill the country's needs, as Pakistan has 43 airports including nine international airports, which needs to be maintained in accordance with international aviation rules, officials told Daily Times.
