CAA decides to outsource pilot license exams to British company

The Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has decided to outsource pilot license exams to a United Kingdom (UK) company.

Under the agreement, CAA will pay millions of pounds to the British company for the pilot license exams, which will increase the fee for pilot license exams.

According to the details, CAA has completed preparations to award pilot license exams to the UK CAA.
