The Aviation Division has been officially merged with the Defence Ministry, following approval from the federal cabinet.
A written directive has been issued by the Defence Ministry to this effect, instructing all relevant institutions, including Pakistan International Airlines (PIA), Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), and Airport Security Force (ASF), to report to the Defence Ministry on all matters.
In a separate development, the federal government earlier revealed the details of ministries that have been or will be abolished on the committee’s recommendations in a move aimed at ‘reducing’ the expenditures.
According to the ministry of finance, six ministries including Kashmir Affair and Gilgit Baltistan, SAFRON; Information Technology and Telecom; Industries and Production; National Health Services Regulations and Coordination; Capital Development Authority (CAD) were processed under Wave-1.
