Islamabad : Following the tradition of assisting national organizations and the instructions of its senior leadership, PAF has lent a hand to Civil Aviation Authority for smooth and safe conduct of operations at the newly constructed Islamabad International Airport. In coordination with and on request of CAA a C-130 flight with passengers and luggage landed at the newly constructed runway of the airport on Friday to assess instrument landing pattern and the quality of the landing strip.
