Information and Broadcasting Minister Senator Shibli Faraz said on Tuesday that Pakistan’s airports will be outsourced to international firms.
A committee to overlook the relevant process has been formed under Aviation Minister Ghulam Sarwar Khan.
Faraz said the first agenda point was a discussion on airports across the country and how to outsource them. The government, was looking for “any international firm that has experience in operating and managing airports”.
The minister added that this was being done in order to bring Pakistan’s airports up to international standards and implement and install all those facilities that were available at major airports in key countries around the world and that were a requirement for an airport to be considered as one in accordance with global levels.
The Cabinet meeting was informed that some companies have already shown interest in the matter.
