KARACHI: Pakistan will resume provision of collaboration services to Sri Lankan airports with its advanced aircrafts system after a gap of two years, official sources in the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) told.

Sources told Daily Times the aviation authority is likely to conduct its commercial operations in Sri Lanka from October to September this year.

The defense ministries of two countries have signed their contracts a couple of months ago to continue their services trade, official told. However the schedule and other terms of services have yet to be decided by the aviation authorities of two countries through their ministry, they added.

According to the contract signed by S Lanaka, CAA will update the airport communication systems, landing, navigation and visual aids, for safe operation of air traffic as per the guidelines defined by International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO). These systems direct the landing and flying positions to pilots who arrive and depart from an airport.

The ICAO recommends every country to test all its communication, navigational, visual landing and other safety systems in accordance with a given time schedule in order to regulate air traffic with the minimum risk of any accident.
